[He's not sure if the yelling or the sudden silence is more stifling. He should be used to silence, from Rina, but...she'd come out of her shell in leaps and bounds since they'd first woken up in the school together. Things weren't okay, they were all doing terribly, but...dare he say she was thriving, in some way. She was happy, at least knowing she had been able to pursue her dreams with her friends back home. She had friends, a boyfriend...she had so much.

And Varian took all of that away fom her, simply because he'd been too afraid of ruining something else precious to him.

He won't stop her as she turns away, simply watching in still silence as she moves to curl in on herself in the now oppressively lonely garden. It's a place Varian simply does not see as happy or comforting anymore...at least, not as much as he once did. It only reminds him of how he had to carry her here, struggling to put one foot in front of the other until he'd finally brought her to her final resting place.

In the end, Varian draws back, curled against the other side of the tree where Rina won't see him. He sits there quiet, not speaking or doing anything for what feels like a very long time.

Eventually though...she'll hear him stand, his footprints receding from her as he leaves.]
