Yuri scoots over so that she can offer her shoulder for Temenos to lean against if he'd like. ]
Her name was Aya. We worked in the same office and was kind to me, especially against someone else in the office. She was always so happy, relaxed, and chipper...
cute. after a moment, he will acquiesce - a little stiffly, because he's a giant weenie, but the offer is sweet and he will rest his head on her shoulder, closing his eyes and taking that information in. happy, relaxed, and chipper... it feels familiar. like... well. he can't think about that right now, either. ]
One of the abnormalities...? [ curiosity, there, though he follows with: ] If it is too painful, you don't have to tell.
... Thank you, but it's alright. Aya was... yes, she was killed by an Abnormality. It was of a high threat level and we didn't see it coming. Aya was assisting with me guiding Gregor and Rodya's group to where they needed to go.
[ ... ]
The gas mask was hers. I think of it as a memento... and it saved me before from dying back there.
[ Yuri quietly breathes out. ]
... I was a terrible guide, but she still supported me until the end.
[ i was a terrible guide, but she still supported me to the end. and isn't that familiar? temenos never shows much feeling beyond his usual - calm, placid, kind, gentle - and he doesn't here, either. but oh, doesn't he feel it. doesn't he know what that's like? to have led a lamb to the lion's den - inadvertently, but nevertheless?
his eyes stay closed, and he makes a soft noise of acknowledgement, processing, letting the statements meld together. yuri's world sounds awful, from what he's been told between her and gregor. no wonder she'd rather stay here. ]
She must have cared for you very deeply, too. [ ... ] I'm glad that you have something to remember her by here, at the very least.
I do. It hasn't been that long... it was the same day from the point of time that I was pulled from.
[ She holds up her sleeve to cover her eye. ]
I think if she saw everyone here, she would say something like, "I'm glad there are many nice people here, Yuri. Now you don't have to listen to Hopkins whenever he gets hangry".
