...At least, she wants to be the person who can. Maybe she can't take enough on after all. Maybe that's all her best is.
Nemesis snaps her mouth shut, pressing her lips thin so they won't shake and folding her arms tighter around her middle for the same reason. She swallows, thick; her throat burns.]

... I get that you don't believe me or nothin'. But we-- we care about each other, right? And-- maybe this is all I'm good for, too. Maybe I'm "weak" too. Whatever it is... let's get through it together. Okay?
[Hologram crowds rush around them as she continues to look down at the ground. She’s—definitely not going to lose it here, she can’t, not with Red and Cap around—though it looks like a near thing from how she swallows again, shoulders tight. She can’t seem to force any more words, but she can take a step backwards, out of arm’s reach.]

Re: THE SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE
