[ she's kind of like... did it? she usually has a bit of a melt down when people start getting hurt in front of her. she's really not as good at handling that as she seems.

I... was feeling a little bit of responsibility. Vaguely.
Helping someone now will always take priority over maybe helping someone later. So I don't regret it at all. We're a team. We can't hesitate when we have a chance to help each other.
[ she can say that much very firmly!
but gets a little more stilted trying to put the rest into words because it is soooo embarrassing having EMOTIONS. can you believe this shit. ]
... But he said he wants to live. And I was just... reminded of how powerless I am to do anything about that. For a minute. But it's not a big deal. It's not like I was the only person that might help him.
... I'm... still thinking about it. I need my friends safe. But there are multiple problems going on at the same time and I feel like we're close to getting answers, so I don't want to just wish them all away.
I can understand that... then, maybe if there are any questions you absolutely need answered or problems that have to be resolved, no matter what, you could prioritize them? Then if the answers aren't ones you wanted, you'll still be all right.

If you don't want to talk about it, then we can move on, but I promise I won't think anything negative about it.

It's so difficult to have to stand there and watch every time, and know that if it goes wrong, there's nothing that you can do.

It just happens.
