She. . . hasn't noticed at all, her own missing memory, because her thoughts are so jumbled and disorganized anyway. So she also has no idea what the fuck is going on, except that Vira clearly can't recall that woman she called her beloved, and it terrifies Harrow in some way she can't quite grasp at.
What would it be like, to experience that level of love and loss for a someone you can't recognize? Haha, can't relate!
Anyway, seeing Vira go stiff and teary eyed, she reacts - a little uncharacteristically. Harrow is so fanatical about others' boundaries, wanting to preserve her own. But something about the way Vira looks in this moment has struck her to her core, reminded her of all of the times she's woken up alone and filled with a raw and inexplicable pain, longed for tenderness and comfort that should have been unfamiliar to her; there was never anyone, was there, who had cared enough about her to provide it?
A little nervously, fearful of being shoved away the way she might do to someone who tried the same, she'll try to wrap her arms around Vira.]

It was a dream. It was only a dream.
