It was hard to listen to. Flora's voice cracked and caught, fraught with pain that Soh could do nothing to erase. And while the Luminary had to admit that Jack had a point - she herself would have trouble trusting that Flora wasn't going to get herself into trouble again - she couldn't find it in herself to hold a grudge. This was Flora - her very best friend, who had been with her through thick and thin, who had supported her through everything and then some.
What kind of friend would Soh be if she didn't return the favor?
And it wasn't really even the kind of thing she had to think about. She listened, and she scooted closer to Flora to wrap an arm around her shoulders, and she rubbed soothing circles on her back. And in the end, when Flora turned her fragile, shattered gaze on Soh, the Luminary didn't hesitate. "It was worth it," she said, even if she wasn't sure it was. "And if he doesn't understand your reasons, then he doesn't understand you. You were never going to sit back and watch if there was something you could do to protect Torchline." She sighed. "I'm so sorry, Flora."
