I'm sorry that this happened to him, Souji...

It must have been hard on you when news reached you, didn't it? I'm sorry.

She'd probably even be on vigil to take care of them if need be. She wondered if Souji here had probably done the same for him.
She couldn't offer any sort of consolation aside from this, and she only hoped he could accept it.]
