Eve took a deep breath. The whole situation made her feel absolutely helpless. She rubbed her face in frustration and came up to put a hand over Celina's shoulders. Her gaze ran around randomly, before stopping on a dark spot on the apartment's wallpaper.
"Well. I'm sure it's not as bad as you say," Eve said. She opened her mouth to add something else, something encouraging, but nothing came to mind.
Her eyes darted to Victor in a plea. 'You're the telepath,' Eve send him a silent message. 'Please, help!'
He gave her an almost imperceptible nod, and a flash of a smile, then turned to Celina. "Ellin, don't let your insecurities defeat you. Qiao needs you, and now probably more than ever."
Celina looked at him hopefully. "But what I can do for her? What should I do? I can't just let her go to he Chainsaws Base, can I? I was supposed to stop her from doing stupid things…"
