Pyrrha leans her head back for a few moments and lets herself miss Wake for a moment. Generally, the commander's not who comes to mind. She's put Gideon to bed more times than she can count. Let him rest. Wake? Wake deserves the fucking irony of washing ashore in a place drenched in magic, able to do it herself. That'd make Pyrrha laugh hard. Wake would hate it. Oh Pyrrha won't wish it for her or wish for her. She'd just laugh if it happens.

She focuses on Sharon's hand and her words.

"More than you know, kid," Pyrrha says, "On New Rho, I had Camilla, Palamedes, and Nona, but... still had to keep stuff from all of them. Operational security to keep us all alive. We Suffer knew who I was, but she hated my guts." Pyrrha shrugs.

"I have far more people in Trench than I've ever had since Gideon ascended. It's incredible, having you, Sharon, having you all," Pyrrha says and smiles.

She leans over and squeezes Sharon's hand. "Now, don't you minimize your suffering on my account again, okay? You can relate. You're not saying it's the same, and that's that," Pyrrha says.

"And Wake is a total badass. And dead. Still dead."
