[She hadn't known for sure that it was him sitting beside her until that moment, but she'd had a general idea - he was about the right height, the color of the fluid in him was violet, and the film making up his hair was long enough... but it's comforting to hear his voice and to know for sure that she's not alone, and even more comforting to realize that he'd stayed with her even when she was at her lowest point, staying there in companionable silence until she'd calmed enough to come up with anything coherent to say.
Her voice is a little shaky, but quite obviously relieved, and she doesn't flinch away from his hand even though she probably would have if it had been anyone else who was still in the Tower. Instead, she shifts a little so that she can put her hand over his.
Something that's still true...]
...thank you... for being here. [The friendship they've forged is real, even if the bodies they were in when they forged it weren't. That's something that's incredibly true and she's aware of it even through the haze of fear and uncertainty. She's quiet for a moment or two as she considers that. In a way, it's not so strange... she's known him for five months now. It had taken her less time than that to grow to trust Felix and Jenna and Piers, and she knows for sure that she would fight as fiercely for Asch as she would for any of them.] I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared, but... I'm going to keep going in spite of it. You've given me the strength to do that... so, thank you.
