Reiner just lets her sob for a bit more before responding, taking the time to process what he just learned...

"...it wasn't hard to tell he disliked you in my conversations with him, even though he wasn't actually talking to you, but that..."

"...what I saw...no, experienced is a better word for it...was a simple, happy memory.  Just one.  Of you and Arkus.  Just relaxing.  Enjoying each others' company..."

...

"...it was easy to tell how much you both cared for each other...would it be alright if I asked what exactly happened?"

'..........I don't want talk about it, though. Too.....too much is going on right now with....with the both of us for such revelations..........and I don't want to relieve those events again. Not....after Zuryk reminded me of them, in the most painful of ways possible. I.....I also don't want you to think less of me because of.....of.... '

'...I'll tell what happened someday, Reiner. Just....just not right now........'
