[Awww, Nahida. Kaveh's gaze softens a little with warmth and heartbreak both. He crouches down to look her in the eyes.]
I'm sorry we didn't help you sooner, Nahida. Sumeru failed you for too long.
[He knows, of course, that the average citizen--even including himself, if he's feeling very generous--would have had no way of knowing the truth of what was happening. But he can't help but think it shouldn't have taken hundreds (thousands, in his mind) of years and the presence of an Outlander to wake them up to the truth.]
she already knows, from the memshare earlier in the week - when she'd erased her. she knows, and that makes the pain of this memory a little more raw, because now she has the context to know what she had meant by that.]

Nahida? Are you alright?
no subject
