[It's a lovely sentiment, the idea of being oneself. Once she figures out what that means for her, she'll be sure to live up to it. But right now, with so many things having changed in her life recently, she's really not sure what to do. A year ago, she wouldn't have given him the time of day, and now here she is caring about him.

So. It's not another hug (she did promise), but she'll lean into his side, a quiet and hopefully acceptable way of reminding him that he's not alone now.]

Does it still hurt?
