As he told his story, her eyes kept getting wider and wider and her face fell more and more.
And then she was basically completely overwhelmed by sympathy. Boom. Her heart exploded.
How horrible!
"So you lost your team -- your partners. And the people you were trying to save died."
She tried to imagine that, coming from some strange adventure to save the world only to find the world remembering her failure.
Only to find that her crime-fighting partner was dead and that it was partly her fault, even if she couldn't remember it, even if it hadn't happened yet for her.
No more Chat. No more stupid puns, and friendly jokes and him watching her back --
It was a thought she quickly had to stop thinking about because it made her heart want to break. Maybe he could be annoying sometimes but he was her friend and her partner and she couldn't even imagine what it would be like to walk into a world where he was suddenly gone and it was partly her fault that the world was that way.
Robbie had lost multiple friends and partners that way. And found out that people he'd tried to save died.
As she saw him staring at the window, blank-faced, she felt even worse. He looked so...resigned to it. And sad.
For a moment, she lifted her arms, almost wanting to give him a hug. She didn't know him well but in the time she had gotten to know him, she'd been able to tell he was a good person that cared about protecting people.
Then she just kind of froze like that, torn about what to do.
"I sort of want to hug you," she said, with her arms frozen like that. "But I don't want to do it if you'd think it was weird. But I really sort of want to."
