[ His silence speaks for him in ways that words couldn't. The fear of loss is a feeling that many cannot even entertain to fathom, and right here, right now, he's staring it in face. She remains quiet, retracting her hand back to his shoulder as he brings out his communicator. When it lands upon a familiar name, her shoulders rise with a quick intake of air. ]
Oh... Noct.
[ One loss is terrible enough, and now, to be sitting on the cusp of another... What can she say to that? ]
I'm... so sorry. I'm... [ She tries again, for words, for sympathy, to reach for something to say to him to offer some platitude, a comfort in this moment. This isn't fair to him-- life never is, as a rule-- one leaving, and another falling asleep, leaving him like this. She shakes her head, for once having nothing to offer at present. Presumably, all who leave return to their worlds, but saying that won't be any comfort, because they are not here with him.
And if he wasn't here beside his father, she is certain he would be on his phone waiting and awake anyways, looing for his father's name to disappear from his contact list. ]
