[...the rattling of the sword stops, and Varian listens to the tale of a girl who has been through far more than he could possibly imagine. Not only has she been through the same game, but...she's been willing to lay her own happiness and safety on the line so that she could ensure this never happened again.
He can't imagine being that selfless. Everything he'd done leading up to the day of his execution...it was selfish. He'd only thought about his own goals, trying to save his dad but at the cost of everything...
Varian will close that gap between him and Nana after a moment, once she's looking at him directly again. He doesn't know Nana personally, but...he feels like he's known her much longer, simply by virtue of shared experiences. They're all seeking escape from this hell, and the only way they're going to break the cycle is by working together.
He knows he can't reach out to her right now, at least not physically...but he hopes that the message gets across regardless.]
