Rein watched the reaper's approach warily through her tears, and drew back slightly when she reached out for her, but in the end she had little choice but to accept the hug. She understood what Momo did, that to accept her comfort was to give her some relief. She couldn't refuse that, for the sake of her name and for the sake of the one they mourned.

Still... it was strange to be held, in this form. Especially by one who wasn't part of her, like her masters and knights had been. And yet somehow, the gesture put her at ease too, as it had been meant to.

It was good that she couldn't speak like this... all the calm she'd composed before Hayate in the end, for her own death, had fled her.
