The balloon popped in Andy's mind. She had been happy. She had been trying to carve a bit of life out for herself here. Trying to fit in. Trying to be normal on an island full of mutants like her. She had even tried to have something resembling a family. It had a dad. But he was suddenly like all the other attempts, except Jamie. What had started as an attempt to find common ground now was a vast canyon between them. Sure she'd love it if people she cared for didn't die. 

She couldn't even respond to what Zari said, she wanted to say how could she know who to recruit when she barely knew anyone. Could Zari even list a dozen people she'd want on a team? It was gone now like water through a sieve. But Polaris had come in and was telling Magneto to lay off. And Andy could see this conversation playing out again and again and it'd never end well.  

Andy glanced to Zari, hoping she'd be the brave one again. Be the one to say enough and leave. All Andy could do was fold into herself. If Zari left she would. She could be brave enough if Zari was. Part of Andy knew that way lay danger, that she needed to find the strength she had in the ring outside it. She just reached and grabbed Ash's discarded jacket and put it back on. It was armor in a way. A jacket belonging to the only parent figure that hadn't failed her, because she had died before she could.
