[ Her eyes widen, lips parting more in shock than having something to say. You'd think with all the experience she's had that this would be easier to answer, but it never means any less to the person it happens, never weighs less heavily on them. It's certainly a bigger deal than a cheeseburger bed.

Kanaya rises back to her feet, leaving the orb on the bed, and pulls him into another hug. This one less joyful, more for comfort than celebration. ]

It's alright now. At least here, you'll get your chance to be free of it.

[ As much as he can be free, at least. ]

Don't think less of him for it. It's what I wanted.

[ Newt is all stiff limbs and awkwardness in the hug, barely reciprocating it. Is it really alright? He doesn't even want to be here. And why should he deserve the second chance? ]

I... made him do it. Almost killed him when he kept resisting. [ His expression is drawn, and he chews at his lip. ] Don't really think I have any right being alive now, ya know?

[ Kanaya move back to look him in the eyes. ]

You're wrong about that. And you need to keep reminding yourself you're wrong about it, even if you don't entirely believe it yet.

[ It reminds her too much of when she did the same thing, suicide by proxy. And she didn't have nearly as good a reason as Newt. ]

I don't think less of either of you for it.

[gluestick]

Maybe.

[ He drags his hands through his hair, revealing the scar for a second before his hair falls back into place. That's going to be a habit he needs to get rid of. ]

I haven't a clue how I'm going to face him. I'm not sure if he evens knows yet.

[ Death scars are never fun. It's why you'll never see Kanaya in a crop top.

Not that you would anyway, but losing backless gowns was a real shame. ]

In m experience, it's best to get these things out in the open as soon as you can. It can all go to hell otherwise, especially with something this close to heart.

[ How badly things got with Nepeta, she'll never forget. There's a reason she broke silence with Rose for this exact kind of news, even after everything that had happened to them. ]

It isn't going to be easy, but it's something you'll have to prepare yourself to do. Perhaps sooner than you would have liked.
