[ she's careful to pull the blanket closer when riza places the blanket over her. briefly - she consides if the others are receiving this kind of support from their cellmates. jade's lucky. the blanket is warm and kind, and the way they're both so gentle with her is refreshing. it makes her feel like she can do this - she has been. ]
