[She can tell Vira is trying to keep a leash on her feelings, though, even now. And it's difficult to watch. She's worried for her. She can't tell if this is only fear of exposure or if it's something more, and she feels a little helpless to do anything about it.

Emotion share isn't so hard on Harrow. There have been many circumstances where she's had to hide how she feels, but they aren't really relevant anymore. Instead, it's almost a blessing; she's so dreadfully bad at expressing herself, sometimes.]

It is. I suspect we are nearing the end of this, and there are a lot of things to be worried about.

[Like. Whether they'll be eaten by a monster. Whether any of the things they've been promised are real at all. Whether, even if she can live with pain and disappointment, there are others who cannot and she'll have to watch it all fall apart. Whether Vira has been falling apart for weeks now, and she hasn't been able to do anything to reach her.

These feelings are fairly cold, just pessimism, but the last hits a little harder.]

. . . I wish that you would feel that you could confide in me more.
