[ She's quiet for a few moments even as he stops talking, as if she's still thinking about it. Yeah, that sort of story actually.. does explain a lot about him. Some things definitely make more sense like this, but it's not just that. It's a horrible story, but-- it's exactly that she can almost relate a little, or at least understand a little better when comparing it to her own experiences. She too knows what it's like to suddenly lose the people most important to you, knowing they were killed yet not by who, and trying to look for that.. and with the way he's talking, it's as if he probably blames himself for it too, just like she did with her own family. Because she should have stopped them somehow, then it wouldn't have happened. But for him it must have been even worse, since they specifically went out for his sake, because he was originally the one called out, and then..

Of course, there's no use trying to say which story is worse, since they're both horrible in their own way, and even if she knows he said before he didn't want pity.. maybe this isn't as much pity as it's sympathy. ]

... Sorry, Senji. That must have felt.. [ are there even words for it? well, she's sure he understands the sentiment. ] ... horrible. To see people important to you die, and feel like it's your fault..

[ it is a horrible feeling, and she knows it - her tone suggests it, but she doesn't fully say it out loud. ]

But.. thank you for telling me. [ and she honestly means that, since it's easy to see how much trouble he has with it. ]
