[ . . . . oh. she breathes out at that, so relieved. kainé doesn't reach out for viola's hands but - she ends up reaching out herself, letting her fingertips brush just lightly against the back of kainé's hand.]
.... I'm so glad.
We'll figure this out, Kainé - I promise. Just... please don't go.
[ She doesn't take a step back or wrench her hands away, so it's a step. Even if it's touch week, some compulsions sting after a whole weekend of them.
She doesn't think she can promise anything right now. ]
[ . . . . she seems thoughtful about it. she thinks about the way that they all reached out to rupert, even when he didn't offer them any information.]

It remains a risk and as I've said, I don't like to speak in certainties about things I'm not sure of - but I have a strong inclination that... you're more treasured than you realize.
[ She would be surprised if all of them still accepted her after. She can't deny that. There's nothing that unpredictable about any of her surface reactions. ]
I guess I'll have to see.
[ If someone from Winter will select enough of the correct dialogue options to make her want to confess and then she'll see just how accepted she is after that. ]

Everyone wants you in Winter just as much as I do. I'm more than sure of that.

[ She is still so full of doubt.
Every person is different. Every situation is different, and she's not Rupert. She doesn't reach out with kindness the way that Rupert did. ]

but regardless she looks thoughtful about it before shaking her head]
No... I'm afraid not. [ . . . ] But you can look into ways to narrow down suspect pools during trial, perhaps.
