She's wiping at her cheeks, one of which is still swollen, as she's bending down to look through the debris, trying to find one paticular plant, but notices Su over her shoulder.]
...Oh. [She's trying to swallow all her emotions down, but to no avail.] Su.
[She had been a steel wall for most of the week. She's good at that. Move on. Be strong. Don't let anything show. But week, after week, after week, and its like the steel's eroded, and everything's come leaking out.]
