[she lets him work, eyes on the bed, listening like always.
it's so easy to write people off. to decide there's nothing good left. to not try. to see something as violent and horrible and not worth looking at ever again. and sometimes they're right, sometimes someone isn't worth trying for, but you never know unless you look.
she wonders if chiemi had been caught, if they would've been nearly as angry, but - that's different, isn't it? she probably didn't just do it because she could. nimona knows that.
she's quiet for a bit. and then:]
I like it here. [it's the best way she can express that she likes having a group of people who just accept what she is. she worries.]

[ there's a small noise of agreement, as if to say "i like it here too" because it's only been a week since they were all arrested but it kind of feels like they all got closer in varying degrees anyway. it felt like there were people they could rely on, a little.
but...there is still that. ]
I think you and I both know that isn't true. [ maybe it's not a lot of people. but there are always going to be people who think about the dead and the circumstances that led them there. ] You get that it's still fine for you to think about it after this, right? I don't think any of us expect you to get over it and move on right away.
[ it's about as good as it's going to get, so like a true heathen he just tosses the cloth elsewhere to deal later. ]
Probably not. [ he can agree to that. ] But if you need to talk about it I don't think any of them would say no either. Some of them are weirdly accepting of things.

he's right, though, she does know that's not true. she reaches up to rub at her face a little, again. at least it's cleaner this time.]
Yeah, but none of you need to hear about it. [she mutters.]
