After their joust with the press, Kary and David had gone their own way, David in a hurry to go back into New Eden. He claimed he had things to do and was busy.
So Kary reentered Alex's room by herself, only to see him fast asleep once more. Guo had assured her he would send a team to get them in a few minutes, so they could get them to the private institute.
She sat down by the bed, looking at Alexander's resting face. He looked so innocent when he was asleep.

There wasn't much she could do to help him get those stabilized, aside from being there for him when he needed someone to lean on. But she would gladly be his emotional crutch if that meant he didn't lose himself.
