Lunae was no hardened veteran of battle. As he pulled his depressive gaze away from the heavens and stared blankly at Gara, the numbness quickly faded, and tears began rolling down his cheeks. He shook his head and rubbed his eyes, holding back sobs. He was still in shock; and Gara, if she felt the need to hug him, then nothing was stopping her.

"That's it...cry it out...." Gara wrapped her arms around the upset man. She seemed rather calm in the moment considering the situation. "I'm here for you."

Lunae was still, completely still. It was clear that he could barely even comprehend Gara’s presence; he only knew that there was a person there, comforting him. Was it his mother? Wait, no, that can’t be right.... [i]I’m here for you.[/i] Was what she said? Who was here for him? What was going on? Why was he on his knees, in these ashen ruins? As Lunae blinked, he slowly came to realize the situation. It wasn’t the time for shock, was it? He slowly forced himself to his feet, stepping back from the kind stranger. His eyes seemed glazed, blank. “Who... are you?” He managed to force out, his voice surprisingly stable.

Miss Williams stood up with him, a comforting and friendly smile on her face. She brushed herself off and kept up her calm demeanor. "My name is Gara Williams. I was passing by when I noticed the tragedy and I couldn't just keep walking when I saw someone was crying all alone. I thought I could be of some help by maybe comforting you."

“Miss Williams.” He was silent for another moment, his comprehension speeds slowed by shock and anguish. “Thank you,” He finally murmured. Somebody went out of their way to comfort him. Perhaps not all was bad in the worl– Just the, blaring alarms went off in Lux. Something was going on. Conveniently timed, too–something that would take Lunae’s mind off things.
