[Lisa flinches violently in Hibiki's arms, then stills. Oh, gods, she's such an idiot, it's not just her, she's a fool, how could she say something like that!? She doesn't open her mouth again, fearing she's going to say something else she'll regret and can't take back, but she can't stop herself from crying, ugly tears spilling out of her eyes and directly into Hibiki's armor, not that she has that much of it. She's sorely tempted to push herself free and let herself fall just to atone, except not only is she too weak but she's finding out all over again how strong Hibiki is. What a disaster. She's a disaster. So how is she supposed to have courage to reach out to Junna after this?
But Hibiki starts singing, then, and once again Lisa finds herself drawn in to the girl's song as it rings out over her sobbing. She... Hibiki's song is pure, and comes from within. Lisa can do that, but most of the time, her music is coming from without. Something she heard, something that sounded like fun. Only rarely is it something that resonated with her. And... it's never something that's truly hers. She's been telling herself that's beyond her, but... isn't that like how she told herself music was beyond her? That love was beyond her? Is that truly... more than she can do?
...Hibiki sings advice even better than she speaks it, even if she does just fine with the normal stuff, too. Junna... well, she'd be mad at two-thirds of the things going through Lisa's head right now regardless, but she'd be even more mad at how much she's putting herself down right now, huh. She's... trying her best. Her best hasn't been great the last few days, but that's not entirely on her at this point. Maybe... maybe she needs to let Hibiki carry her all the way out of here, and go rest for a bit. Come at it again with a slightly clearer head. Junna- Junna will wait another day. Lisa can afford to stop for tonight. And then she can head for tomorrow herself.
She relaxes again, still crying, but... less so, as she clings on to Hibiki tightly once more. She'll... have to apologize later, huh. Thank her, for looking out for her.]
