[There's a grating sound. Like someone's scratching something across the table. Sue's voice is just very... flat.]

Y'ken, when I was pissed as hell on a sinkin' ship... I kinda thought I might die. Kinda thought I might wake up, though, too.

I did. Jus' with sand in me mouth. Again[More scratching, and a slight clatter

Sue, you owe me nothing.

In fact, if we are to go into it, it is I that owes you.

I should've seen how you were after all that shit, no matter what happened. An' I was pissed off my arse. I should've kept that camera and not dismissed it.

I.. let's not go into it, aye?

Sue, we are all different in how we handle grief, and it is my guess in this situation dealing with what happened and then returning is emotionally the same. That is to say, there is no right way.

I will say no more, just so long as you do not feel bad for what happened. You are at no fault.

I... Morgana, hun, I'm...

My job's to protect people. I failed at that twice in the past few days. I... I cannae help feeling bad.

You cannot protect everyone all the time. I am not saying it is an easy thing to accept, but it is the truth. I am not saying you stop trying, but you have to find some way to accept it.

But I could've... it was just you.

But alright.
