"Don't be so hard on yourself."
You lay your hand on Judy's shoulder, stroking it in a circular motion with your thumb trying to calm the new flush of anger after Evelyn's death. She looks down from the balcony, clenching her dangling hands from the railing into fists. Judy certainly won't leave alone the people who did terrible things to her friend.
"I could have done more."
Alvarez raises a tired and sad gaze at you, clearly about to add something, but only stares blankly into your eyes. For a split second, a smile appears on her lips.
"But, thank you for coming."
