[It is rare for Liquid to sound truly shaken.
Shocked, angry, even, rarely, miserable, yes. But it takes a lot to shake him. First Yaha and now-]

[He's tempted to snap at her, his nerves frayed to the extreme, but he holds back on it and bites his tongue. No. This isn't right. For someone like him who has seen so many deaths, he should not be affected so badly. He should not allow it to make him reckless or stupid. He should not-!]
