[there is absolutely nothing that either this elena or the other elena has to feel guilty about. james wouldn't be surprised that she felt the remnants of that guilt anyway though there is no reason for her to feel it, nothing she is at fault for. of course, he wants to see her again. james breathes in, pushing off from the wall as he takes a slow step up beside her to where she stands by the railing.]

My... little sister wanted me to come. She helped set it up and volunteered me and my brother for the heavy lifting so I'm here for her. Balls happen often in the universe I'm from.

I'm... just currently hiding.
