He... didn't know about 'fix.' But neither could he say she was wrong. He only knew what he knew — and he trusted Adelaide.

"I like Adelaide. She's wise." More than that, she had Compassion on her side. "She tries very hard to be kind."

"She is," Sina agreed, looking out onto the quiet courtyard, the sky a lighter grey than before as the sun considered rising.
"I'm lucky to be here."

He smiled a little, mirroring the look on her face.

"People here care about helping. That makes it a good place to be." For him, too.

She wasn't crying anymore. The pain was still there, but... he couldn't soothe it. The most he could do was stay with her a while, so she wouldn't feel lonely.

"I'm Cole." So she would know what to call him.

Sina laughed lightly at his turn of phrase; she'd never heard anything like it before, but somehow it seemed more honest than what most would say.

"I'm Sina," she replied, and smiled at him, grateful for the company.
