[She's sick of breaking down, of feeling angry and fragile and hurt; it started with having to think about Nikolai again and now everything else is just piling on top until she can't breathe.
But she knows that crying it out might help just a little, so she stops trying to fight it and just clings to Babs for a while.
It takes a few long minutes, but eventually the sobs ease up and turn into sniffles, and then she's gently pulling back so she can wipe at her face.]
There's a lot been going on.
[Quiet, a little rough after all the crying, but there's still something almost guilty in her tone, because she's kept so much from Babs.]
