[Becky might be able to feel Aline's heart race even faster as she receives a light squeeze from the girl. It does halt her struggling, and she allows Becky's reassurance wash over her. It's just what she needs right now. Anything but that terrible monster that caused... That caused... She doesn't remember, but a peculiar anguish grips at her the more she thinks about it. It's a deadly mix of fear, rage, confusion, and sadness that her mind is trying to shut down and block out if at all possible.
That's when she stops trying to think and just listens to Becky. Aline wants to believe her words, but something is holding her back, like she has to regain something before everything will truly be okay.
Aline doesn't reply to Becky, finding herself deep in thought, trying to find what she has lost. When she does speak, it's in a small voice, unsure of her question.] Why do I feel like I've... lost someone?
