[It's a short battle against the tears, one Krile loses as soon as she feels the touch of Lyle's hand. But she's grateful nonetheless. Much as she hates letting anyone see her cry, being alone right now would be infinitely worse. The advice to assume that people just go home when they disappear seems hollower than ever at moments like this.
She leans into him for a moment, then turns and just wraps her arms around him. Part of her, a quiet part, feels bad for crying on him but she's sure he needs a hug just as much as she does. Even though she never quite understood the way Lyle and Neil were with each other, they're brothers and she can't think that they didn't love each other on some level.]
I'm sorry.
[She's said those words a lot and they often seem useless, but right now they're for a lot of things. For breaking down, that Neil is gone, that Lyle has to be the one to tell people and might even have seen him vanish.]
