Soma nodded tightly at Rapunzel's words. She knew there wasn't any use in accepting what the lieutenant colonel had offered. It had taken her time to come to terms with the fact that if there was some semblance of a normal life out there waiting for her, it was back in her own world, with Sergei Smirnov, not Stefan Medvedev. But she understood now, even if it hurt.

She stiffened slightly when Rapunzel pulled her into a hug, startled at the sudden contact. After a moment, she hesitantly returned the hug before stepping back and holding Rapunzel at arm's length.

"It's...it could have been a lot worse." She offered a faint smile. "If it happens to you, you should let it become your motivation instead. It probably means the people you care about are out there somewhere, and if you can escape, then you can help them, too. That's what I've been telling myself."
