[Gwen hears Jim moving and knows he's there before she even sees him. The fact that Jim takes precautions to be in her line of vision is obvious, and she feels immensely guilty. She didn't mean to scare him, and she's sure she had to. She tries so hard not to get emotional, not to let her strength loose, but the emotional reaction of failing so bad came out of her so easily.
She's already lost two of the most important people to her. She's already separated from friends she cared deeply about. She didn't know if she could handle something else happening to someone she loved.
But she did save Jim. He's back to himself, albeit a bit roughed up, but he was like that before she got to him. Shit happens. She knows this. Shit always happens. But they make do with what they have, they make a new plan, and they figure things out.
She nods, feeling a bit numb, but she didn't have time to wallow in self pity.]
...We should get you cleaned up. We can regroup and figure out a plan once you don't look like your clothes went through a shredder.
