The woman held Aylin's hand tight, not allowing her to budge from her place. Yet, Aylin did not mind it and she allowed her to hold her as she looked at her curiously. Her eyes were red and swollen from all the crying she had done and she looked haggard. Her tears and her snot kept running down her face. But Aylin did not mind it, unlike others who moved away the moment the woman had rushed towards them.
"Comm..Commander," The woman struggled to speak as she tried to catch up with her breathing. Her nose was blocked and she found it hard to control herself.
"Calm down. I am here. I will not go until I find out what is happening." Aylin assured her and stood beside her, putting all her weight on one leg. She then patted the woman's back as she tried to comfort her. "Take deep breaths and breathe slowly."
Though the woman was too aggrieved to calm down, she still listened to her and took deep breaths and eventually, her tense shoulders relaxed a little.
