[Fenimore doesn't entirely know what to think about that. Some of it she is relieved to hear and it helps to soothe some of her feelings. Some of it she can't agree with at all. And some of it manages to do both at once. She's not sure how that works, but her emotions are a whole mess of confusion right now. The hug, she does appreciate, even if she doesn't return it, but she is at the same time glad that it is a loose one. She needs that little bit of distance right now.

As Rei finishes speaking, Fenimore's body starts to shake a little.]

I'm -- but I'm not tough. There wasn't anything triumphant, or honorable, or -- I just hid. I was scared and I hid, and I let them kill my friends and everyone else because I didn't want them to pick me.

[She shakes her head.]

I'm not like you. I'm not a solider, I'm just -- I was scared and I was lucky. I didn't do anything to be proud of to get these scars. And I hate that they left their mark on me, and I hate that I can't do anything about it, and I hate that I can't do anything about them. I don't want to remember anything about it, but I can't forget it and I hate it!
