Junna stops, hand still in hers. Lisa orders her feet to move, heartbeat pulsing in her ears, eyes darting back and forth, looking for the bus she knows isn't coming after the earthquake just minutes ago, plus whatever happened to Ai. She has to keep going. Has to move, or it's- it's-
She should have expected the hug. Should have expected something. She'd asked that they keep each other apprised of their mental states specifically so something like this could be addressed, and yet... it comes out of left field and surprises her, enough that she completely freezes, train of thought ceasing.
