Cecilia admitted to herself that her words earlier to Spirit were on the cryptic or oversimplified side. Yet at the moment, she doubted that saying anything would make any difference. Would she understand? Could anyone? Perhaps, to some extent. Valencia and James soon came to her; she recognized their voices. It wasn't as though she abhorred their concern, but she felt as though she couldn't have been more embarrassed. Now aside from being useless, she was causing them to worry.

She might have been relieved that Helena and Neric didn't come over if it wasn't for her reasoning that perhaps the reason for them staying away was that they didn't want to upset her. [color=1a7b30]This is it... Whenever they look at me, they'll just see another person who couldn't handle the sight of what makes them special...[/color] This thought she entertained could easily be attributed to nearly everyone. Would they treat her differently from now on? Careful to not be themselves, lest she cower and cry again? Is that what lied in store for her? To continue being sheltered? Cecilia gritted her teeth. Never again. She'd sooner leave this camp and everyone in it behind, than ever allow that to be the case anymore.

But did that really mean that she couldn't stay here. It certainly felt like her time in this camp was over. Her mind considered the option of leaving at night when everyone else would be asleep. However, doing something like that felt like admitting defeat. She might not be able to live with herself if she did that. "I'll be fine soon..." she finally said weakly, lifting her head partially, though not making eye contact with either of the three, not feeling up to it quite yet. "I'm... s-sorry... for making everyone worry so much..." Her words were still a little broken up as she fought to say that much. Her left hand gripped her other arm as she held both over her chest. She wasn't sure what else she could say, and although she appreciated their sympathy, she would understand if they decided to leave her.
