Half the battle is showing up; they used to live in a world where that was true. It's the best thing she can promise, sometimes, here. She won't always know what to do. She won't always be able to change anything. But she will show the fuck up.
She forces herself to relax her grip on herself, one finger at a time, looking at the crescent mark pressed into her skin. She didn't draw blood, but she could have; the depression stays.
"It took us years to become who we were back home, and we had to. It's only been a year here -" For her anyway. She glances up, knowing he was here first, but not much longer. Not like Vrenille, who was here at the start, years ago. "- and we don't have that pressure. It makes sense that it's hard. I do it, too."
