[ She needs a moment. Just... give her a moment. She's strong, but even the strongest has a limit and this was it for her. What he had told her was enough to make anyone believe Independents were monsters, yet here she is, mourning the boy she thought of as her own son and what horrors must be going on in his mind to crack like this.
Had Nai been hiding his declining mental health ever since the boys found Tesla? How could she have missed that?
He was just a child, and so was Vash. That the younger twin would take upon himself all the blame, all the guilt was almost textbook behavior, and when she finally, finally pulls back she gently cups his face in her hands. Tears and sorrow mar her face, yet somehow she's still able to try to comfort him. ]
Vash. Nai's actions are not yours. You're not to blame for something he's done, and you're not to blame for running away. You can't think that, please.
