But honestly, the situation was far too familiar not to feel a twinge of sadness, memory of her own friends who'd been hurt and gone missing. "I'm so sorry."

Against her better judgment and propriety, she let a hand rest on his shoulder, offering her condolences. Losing a friend like that was never easy. "I'm sure... they would if... if they were still here. But everyone I know that's been taken... they weren't around very long after."
