[ Eurydice takes a half-step forwards, and then the screaming starts.
She wondered, but she didn't want to know. It's the worst sound she's ever heard -- painful and broken and desolate and her fault. All going after Maya did was indulge her grief. She wanted to see him so, so badly, wanted to make Maya feel a fraction of the pain she felt, and neither of those things were what Orpheus wanted. It's like choosing to go with Lord Hades all over again: selfish, desperate, stupid.
But she can't just leave him here, no matter how much he probably wants her to. He doesn't want to see her, but here she is, and that's -- that's just how things are. She can't run from this storm, like she's ran from all the others.
Slowly, tentatively, she puts one foot in front of the other, and crosses the distance. She stops in front of him and kneels, still reaching out but not yet touching. She's not sure if he wants that, if he can handle it right now. ]
Orpheus, I -- please, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. It's not -- [ not your fault, but she doesn't know if she should go there yet. ] -- I'm sorry.
