[It's disheartening to see the brash hero boy like this. She sits down next to him, both to get some more rest herself (much as her body doesn't really seem to need it anymore) and to keep him company for a little while.]
Were you able to fend the wraiths off, then, or outrun them? That's impressive.
[But what comfort is that for a hero? Going by their talk before the Crossing, she feels like he must have wanted to keep his whole little group safe - unless he'd already come to understand that it was a test they each had to brave individually. As she thinks that, though, she wonders how true it really is. Did she and her groupmates not support each other through the echoes of their painful memories? Who knows if all of Katsuki's group would have made it to this shore at all if they hadn't helped each other, too?]
