Still, that did not absolve her from her actions. However, watching a tear roll down Maria's cheek onto her, Svetlana finally stopped, muttering, "alright... I'll stop..."
But the one thing she could not force herself to do was smile. She could barely turn her mouth up at all. To her, it was an unnatural sensation that came from happiness, a feeling she was forced to forfeit. Still, with her stay in the 501st, she had come to find out what happiness meant once again. The one question that dogged her, however, was whether she deserved it. Looking away again, she soon gave an onimous question.
"Say... Lucinda," she asked in worry, "may I ask you something?... When was I triggered exactly?... The last thing I recall was being in the infirmary, talking to Lieutenant Ouyang... Did he... tell you guys anything about it?... Did he hear anything?"
Fei was a soulless wreck, working his way through one of the strikers. It was as if he switched off all his senses just to work on the machines. His eyes heavy in concentration. It was unclear what he was feeling, if he was actually feeling anything. But one person was still burnt into his mind - the one girl he least wanted to meet.
'I wonder how long...' he thought to himself, 'before 'Sudʹya' catches up to me...'
Maria looked up at the ceiling, Kaixa's ears and tail emerging. Maria looked slightly preoccupied by something. "Mmm... Izzat so..." She gave Svetlana a puzzled look. "Gimme a sec. Kaixa's being confusing. He what?" She paused, Kaixa's ears and tail disappearing. "Ok. From what I heard, Fei was trying to do something leave somewhere maybe? You stopped him... and... He shouted at you about something. Ummm... an' you..." her english was becoming more and more muddled as she tried to retell the story back to Svetlana, She never stopped speaking of course but there were time where she had to break into Venetian to figure out what to say. "That's all I know. Would you like me to loosen your straps?"
