“Oh god, I’m so sorry.”
You could have been there. You could have helped. Without hesitation, you move over and curl one arm around her shoulders.
She leans against him, head keeping down. She just sank into the one arm hug, even just doing that she felt so much heavier.
“Don’t say sorry, it’s cool. Wesker can kill you in a moment’s notice, it was better you weren’t there.”
“I could have helped though. Maybe I could have kept Leon normal if I had been there.”
You reach out with your other hand to start stroking her hair.
“It’s fine, as long as you don’t end up… Like that.”
Darck’s shoulder’s began to shake a bit, and she clenched her hands in tight fists.
“I promise I’ll never be like that.”
You stop stroking her hair, not sure if you’re doing any good.
“Thank you…”
At this point she just seems to cave, hands unclenching and shoulders going slack, becoming just dead weight.
“I’m just so tired.”
