[ Mukuro's soft voice right at Riley's pointed, feathery ear sends a rippling wave of shivers up her spine. So close. So incredibly close, in way she doesn't let herself be with people. It urges her to cling tighter. To try and readjust her arms so the positioning is better.
And...she stays like that, for awhile. She doesn't know how long. Until the clinging and crying stops and she just lets the tension seep from her muscles. It's mostly from exhaustion, not actual relaxation. At some point, she wonders if Mukuro's arm has fallen asleep. It's around that time that Riley starts to realize her breathing's slowed. ]
I... [ Her voice cracks, even though it's barely a whisper. ] 'm s- sorry. Sorry.
