[ Her expression is sympathetic, but at least she doesn't cry again. The CDC has instilled so much horror in her already, so much pain. It's the reason she came out here, after all. Hearing Garrus's story tugs at her chest, but doesn't reopen her wounds.
It's morbid, but it might be a good thing she's being exposed to so much existential darkness. Soon she'll grow numb to it all, bit by bit. ]
... I know you will. [ Her faith is quiet, but sure. ] As for me, well... I dunno. I'm not sure how to recover. There's so much I don't know, and I never realized it until I left... this might sound strange, but I really thought I knew how much I didn't know. But now that I'm with the CDC, I'm realizing I had no idea... what's out there, and what I need to learn.
[ Xion curls up, hugging her knees to her chest and still watching the sky. ]
... I'm so scared, all the time. I need to be stronger, or... I'll keep failing. I have to stop getting so upset. If I let my emotions get the best of me, I'll be useless... and then I won't be able to do my job. I can't let that happen.
