Her knees feel weak and shaky, as if the life and energy of her body had been drained out by the static noise. Those words... he hadn't said them, but they echo in her mind all the same. I wish, I wish. She wants to ask, but he's gone already, leaving behind only the one she'd seen when she first arrived here, frozen in time.
She reaches out towards him, hand coming within inches of his back. She pauses, lowers it. Tries again, her body trembling, before finally withdrawing entirely.]
...I wish you could, too.
[Her voice is barely a whisper, and before she can even find out if the remaining fragment of her brother responds, she turns and runs right out of the wagon, as fast as her legs will carry her, slamming the door behind her.
She doesn't belong here. As long as that wall of static remains, there's no place for her.]
