Slowly reaching up and gently placing her arms around the still form of her mother, Scarlet let her emotions out. WIth the tears flowing freely, she gave Rouge a light hug. Sobbing slightly, she managed to answer Edwin.

"A-a life... for another's...."

Burying her face next to her mother's, Scarlet started trying to bring herself back under control. Letting it out had helped, but she still needed to have control. Taking deep breaths, she let out some sadness with each one. Slowly finding herself baring with the pain, she stood up and faced Edwin.

"She uh, she's in a coma. Lost a lot of blood, never quite recovered from the wound."

Scarlet felt like she'd just stabbed herself with those words. That one bullet, one shot that was fired, changed her whole life. She had traded her mother's life for her own. Her composure breaking, tears started running down her face. Letting her head drop, Scarlet felt alone. She had lost the only people close to her, and it was her fault her mother was here. Thudding as she hit the ground, her hands went over her face. Leaning back against the bed, the wall of emotions burst out of her.
