It's fine, Jude. Thank you for sharing that with me.
[She takes a moment before really responding though. Listening to his story, yet again, she can't help but be struck by how similar he and 9S are. For better or worse. All she can think about is what she heard of 9S' reaction to her death.
But there hadn't been anyone to help him stand up again. YoRHa had been decimated, and to 9S, A2 was simply the traitor who killed her. From what she knows, he rejected any offer of help, any outstretched hands, from the Resistance androids himself. He told her he'd been alone.
So she's glad that if anyone had to fall in love with 9S, it was Jude. There are no guarantees in the coven, and with the way people tend to come and go all the time, she's aware that there's nothing guaranteeing that she'll always be with 9S here. One day, she could simply be gone without her ever realizing. If that day should ever come, she thinks Jude would be able to help him not feel so alone, so lost. She can't help but be grateful for that.]
I'm glad that you told me all this. And I'm glad that your friends were able to help you stand up again. Even though it must have been so hard, you came out stronger for it.
