[she feels the guilt in his words, the shakiness in his thoughts. though kyle doesn't say it, wanda can somehow tell that he hasn't told anyone else about this before. and, so, she treats it with the deference it deserves.
silently, she listens; silently, she lifts a hand, and places it over one of his own, a light point of contactβof comfort. rousma here is good company, within the horizon, but wanda's vaguely aware that, otherwise, kyle is on his own; no one else from his world. that can be quite the solitary experience, especially when you feel guilt over something you've doneβsomething you've failed at.]
I'm sorry.
[there are layers of loss here: loss of time, loss of home, loss of loved ones.]
I know this doesn't fix anything, but you couldn't have known. [that his actions would take him down this path, entirely, to see his world changed and his memories scrambled.] Is that what you last remember before being summoned here?
