[Three weeks of hell for both of them. Junna appreciates, now, that it was a different kind of hell for each. But there's one thing in common, she thinks: they didn't have each other to lean on then. That's something that Junna realizes she needs going forward. That is to say, though, that she needs that comfort too. She keeps her arms around Lisa -- and she stays in the kiss. It's more passionate than previous ones for her, too.

And she only pulls back reluctantly. Her cheeks are flushed when she does, and she laughs a little. She really is an actress, isn't she? She looks at Lisa, then she sighs, and leans her forehead against hers.] ...mm. I could... I could get pretty distracted right now. [She stays quiet for a second, her eyes finding Lisa's.

Her tone shifts a little. She knows that they're not done and she shouldn't lose her focus entirely. She doesn't separate herself physically, but she does nod to her. Her eyes linger on Lisa's, her arms still around her shoulders.] ...thank you. I... I thought I'd been a burden. [She pulls a hand back and lifts a finger, as if to say, "Let me finish."]

I thought there was no way I couldn't be a burden, because you -- because everyone -- had to come after me. But... I wanted you to find me, even while I didn't want to be found, at the same time. And knowing a part of my heart helped you, that... that takes away some of that feeling that I was a burden. So... thank you, Lisa.
