*Mira nodded, looking away.*
"I'm sorry."
*She wiped away a single tear*
"I feel dirty- like I'll never be clean again."

*He gave Mira a comforting hug*
"Don't say that. You were dragged away into that situation--it could hardly be said that it was your fault."

*She nodded, looking away*
"I just feel like there must have been something...maybe if I hadn't spoken to him..."

"I still don't know..."
*She blinked back a tear*
"I have brief flashes- like in my dream. But I don't know all that happned. I don't know if he- what he did to me."

*He held her in his arms, rubbing her back reassuringly, feeling a bit helpless. How could he chase her demons away?*

*Mira almost laughed*
"I'm sorry. I just fell into your life a few days ago, and already I've caused havoc."

"I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner."
*He didn't know what else to say--how could he comfort her, with no words? Instead, he held her in his arms, stroking her hair and hoping that it gave her some measure of solace, however small.*

"You've been better to me than anyone else I've met since I came here."

"At times...yes. Mostly when I recall the things I've done wrong."
*He swallowed heavily*
"Mira, I think...I shouldn't keep it from you. What has brought me down so much that I was living in that wreck of a home--you deserve to know, and then you will know why I say what I do about myself."
