"They remind me of ... people I made a lot of mistakes for," Setsuna ultimately settles on saying. It's a lot to lay on another person, her own life, and she thinks ... she'd like to tell Catra about it, sometime.

So she makes a note to herself, that she's going to do that, that she wants to and that she will, and nods, with a smile. She hopes it's a reassuring one. "I don't want to make those mistakes again, either. So ..."

She offers Catra her hand, her expression as serious as a heart attack. "I know we've just met, so, really, you don't have to believe I won't break it, but I ... want to make you a promise. Whatever happens with these people, I won't let anyone else, even me, throw your feelings away like that. Whatever it takes to make that right, I'll help you do it. I know I ..." Her confidence and some of her brightness falter, the memory stinging. It comes out a little more bitter than she means it to. "... didn't want to be thrown away, either. So I know you deserve this."
