The physical contact from Zahra and Terra snaps her out of the memories, her mouth forms the words "You care for me? You care for me?" without ever saying them. One hand turns and grips onto Zahra's, the other reaches up and gently grabs Terra's hand, taking in the feeling. She still looks very much broken, but something about Terra's firm grip caused something to click in her, something that would serve to keep her sanity in check. The shattered girl stands up, letting go of their hands. Then, she hugs Terra, whispering "I hope you can, I can't carry this burden... It pulls me close, like a devil within. It doesn't want me to break free, it's part of me, wrenching me apart, makes me cry every night... I move on, I move on because I [i]need[/i] to. It hurts me, I don't care. We won't be normal, I know this. Ever since I piloted an NC, I've felt different... I won't die on you, my blood won't fall into your hands. We'll survive this, I'll make sure of it. My claws will tear." The girl doesn't let go of Terra, letting out tears of relief. She felt understood, even accepted by this ex-Red Star pilot. "Thank you for listening to me, Terra... I'll keep you safe too, you won't die on my watch." Then, she stops talking, though it's clear there's more on her chest than this. But that can't hurt her now, there's a mission to do, and people to protect.
