[Clean up has been rough to say the least. The place is still stained, and it might never come out. But this is when she realizes what's happened. She calls them, and they don't answer. She goes to their rooms, and the places are empty. They're gone.
She doesn't trash her room, or break down. Though it's a near thing. It stays a near thing, hovering just under the surface when she turns on her comm. She looks worried, distressed, but she holds onto her calm with both hands.]
Red Fish crew... This is your captain. I need you all to check in. Now preferably.
Actually, everyone I know, please check in. I need to see who's still here.
[The why. She should tell people why. They have other friends.]
Zhas and Coil are both gone.
[Shit! She will not cry. She swallows and her eyes are moist but she doesn't cry. ]
Just say something. Please.

Now taking bets on how long that might last.]

[ He hums to her, tugging her down so they are both on the floor and rocking her, the same way he might have done for young relatives long ago. ]

No she curls against him, and let's him rock and hold her, until her resolve cracks and she's crying, quietly, into his chest.]

Sorry, I... Sorry. I shouldn't overreact.

[ He murmurs softly, offering her a hanky. YES HE CARRIES HANKIES AROUND DON'T JUDGE ]

She takes it, but does use it to wipe her face. Just twists it absently in her hands.]
Nothing was ever solved by crying.
[She sounds like she might be repeating a lesson someone taught her.]
