[There it is. It's not completely clear thanks to Aline's current inability to recall what happened, but that, right there, sounds like enough to confirm what Becky had suspected, an answer to a question she had asked Reiko before Aline awakened.
Aline's own question is one that Becky doesn't feel ready to answer. Hell, she's not even sure if she should be the one to really answer, so the response to it (or perhaps that uncertain tone) is for that hug to tighten just slightly, though it's still not enough that Aline wouldn't be able to get away if she really wanted to.
It's a good thing they have these masks on, Becky thinks; she knows that if Aline got a look at her face right now then the other girl would pretty suddenly aware that yes, something did happen. (That is, if her response to the question didn't already say as much.)]
