[ Yuel is nosing through the cargo bay when she spots a familiar tail peeking out from behind a box tower. She grins as she makes the incredibly intelligent decision to carefully tip toe closer, sneaking forward as she reaches out to grab the tail—
She doesn't grasp tightly, but her misdeeds are punished immediately when a memory (1:22:10 to 1:24:04) burns through them both at the touch. It hits hard enough to bring an ache to her chest, sending her sinking slowly to her knees onto the ground.
Left a little dazed, it takes her a moment to realize that she's holding inappropriately onto Molly's tail, letting go with a belated, ] Ah, sorry.
[He doesn't care about the tail hold so much that he'll just
reach to wrap it around Yuel's wrist before she goes too far, turn to hold his hands out to her.
He doesn't quite understand - but the concepts are easy enough. Watching someone you care for burn, transform. An awful thing to witness. Worse still to have been a voyeur to a scene he knows he shouldn't be digging for.]
Yuel? Yuel -- No, I'm sorry - don't apologize. I won't have seen it. If you don't want me to.
[ Yuel isn't shy or secretive, wearing her heart on her sleeve, so she doesn't think of this as an invasion of privacy. She would tell the entire world about Societte's merits, and rally all the troops for the cause of saving her from Ninetails' tyranny without hesitation or regret.
But those memories are laced with heartache, and she knows that bearing witness to them so suddenly can be painful. ]
Ah? [ She holds onto his hands, the chill that spread from the reminder of her failure already warming in the fact of his concern. ] No, it's okay.
[ If Molly feels apprehensive about prying, he doesn't need to. Yuel, as ever, isn't shy about sharing, though she does it with a troubled expression. ]
That was my friend... She got tricked into givin' up her body to an evil spirit.
... She has a habit of gettin' into trouble because she's too nice.
But we're learnin' a lot about each other this week... [ this sounds bad but ] We can kinda see what might bring people here to kill one another, don'cha think?

[ Smiling softly, she rubs his head. ]
I didn't mean to scare ya.
no subject
You didn't. Don't fret about that. I'll be fine.
[But,]
Maybe I shouldn't ask, but-- What happened?

[ Friends can be so dumb. ]
no subject
There are some right bastards in the world. [ . . . ] I really won't pry if you don't like. Just tell me to fuck off if I ask too much.

[ She gives him an amused smile. ]
Are ya gonna say I'm naive if I say a lotta people act like jerks because they're hurtin'?
[ This is such an after school special. ]
no subject
No. I don't think it's naive. [ . . . ] Can't always use it as an excuse, however. Taking your hurt out on other people.
