[ here she thought she might have been done crying.
but...
jiuqing shifts to hug her and ruby just lets the tears flow. she's careful not to move, wary of jiuqing's back wound. she brings her knees up and press her face in to her hands. ]
[sometimes there really isn't anything to do but cry.
crying won't bring back chang geng or chinatsu, but honestly, neither will anything else the could be doing right now. and it's better to get this out now, while they can - before the trial they'll be having tomorrow - than it will be to be overcome by it while they're trying to solve the murders.

yeah, she thought so.
jiuqing shifts again and hugs her. very carefully, so as to not aggravate the wound on her back, but... it's still a hug.]
