I know. I know you wouldn't. [Junna's voice is quiet there. It's a little vulnerable, too. She hates admitting that; it feels like it might be failing Lisa, in some way, to admit that insecurity.] I know, Lisa. You'd never hurt me like that.
[She blinks, though. The Disturbance was a defense mechanism, if a very warped one; taking things she thought and twisting them, something like the lies she tells herself to protect herself. It makes sense that it would pick up on the things that hurt. She looks down, then she nods.]
You're... you're right. I didn't think of it like that. [She exhales, then she looks up. She hesitates when she hears about the fate of those people who tormented Lisa -- and that's unfortunate, but she doesn't feel particularly giving. And then, at Lisa's remark, she smiles a little. Her hand squeezes her shoulder.]
If someone hurts you, I'm not going to be okay with that. [She smiles a little.] But... I know what you mean. I've got a few of those voices, myself. [That's something Lisa knew. She'd seen it, first hand.] I'll give you all the time you need. And... I'll tell you, when you need it, too. I--um. I'm glad you told me, too.
