MAEA
It was a story very difficult to listen to. Just as Sunjata's had been. What was it about her silence that invited them to open up and speak about these things to her? She was no saint, no hero, no steady rock to lean on, just a girl who had seen very little of the world and couldn't help anyone. Her hands were too small, her shoulders too weak - how come they burdened her with these things, when she felt as though they might break her to carry? So many secrets - how many could she keep, before she couldn't take any more?
Yet she kept listening, because... what else would she do? Walk away? Betray his trust by putting her hands over the ears and scream, like she wanted to? Oh no, Maea couldn't do that. She held on to his hand for as long as he let her, and hugged her knees when he let go, like he hugged Astra. How she longed for someone to cling to like that, in moments like these... Maea found she missed Sunjata very much all of a sudden. Longed to feel his arms around her, and the steady beat of his heart against her cheek.
"I'm so sorry this happened to you, Loren," she said, in a hoarse whisper. Tears brimming in her own eyes, only barely able to hold them back.
