Cuddle Headcanons: Genshin Ladies Edition (part 1)

epilogue — various.

characters: beidou, hu tao, ningguang, xiao, yanfei & gn!reader

synopsis: a comment on or a conclusion to what has happened. // how it’s like after you’ve left them.

warnings: angst, hints of breaking up, indirect mention of death, insanity (?), slight spoilers for xiao's lore.

genre: angst.

format + word count: headcanons + 0.3k

notes: reader is the one that left. i do not know why, it's just me writing up random scenarios for it :') - reblogs are greatly appreciated !

beidou is tired. she’s tired of grinning through it all and claiming it was fine, that she was okay, that she had moved on. when in reality she hadn't. she ached to hold you again, tell you how much she admired you. she wanted to hear your laugh. she couldn't, though, because you weren’t there anymore.

hu tao is broken. so very broken. all her pieces are scattered, fragmented, and she doesn’t know what to do. she tells herself that it would be alright, that it was going to happen eventually. but it didn't happen in the way that she had imagined. the way you departed and simply forgot about her existence still plays through her mind. she’s losing herself - allowing her mind to contemplate - to worry, to question. but never know why.

ningguang is confused. she didn’t expect it. the sweet smiles and soft hand grazes and gazing into each other’s eyes for just a moment longer. she believed it to be real, to be forever. she did not know it was going to end. but she hadn't seen you in a while - and all she could feel was guilt. though she did nothing wrong.

xiao is lost. he doesn’t know what to feel. he gave his trust to you, and it shattered in the end. he’s wandering, here and beyond - with no sole purpose. the epilogue began to make his karmic debt more excruciating. and he has no idea what to do about it. he is sorry though, that you had to waste your time on him - that he wasted his time on you.

yanfei is puzzled. she attempted to do everything in her power to make it work again. but time cannot be rewinded. the flame could not be rekindled. you left and never came back. so yanfei had to deal with it. life wasn’t always fair.

“One day, I’m going to marry you. Nothing you can do to keep me from trying.”

I love your fatui! reader x genshin really tugged on my heartstrings right there.

if it's alright can i ask for a continuation for keqing? 👉🏻👈🏻 like the two of them inevitably have to fight each other ft. other fatui and keqing gets overwhelmed so the reader ultimately betrays her peers and gets gravely injured (i live for the angst-hurt/comfort)

again thank you for writing this it was definitely a fun read 😊

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed writing it as hopefully I'll do more for other characters! I love continuations so I was so happy to write this. I also apologize for not getting this out sooner as I had this in the works with a few other things; however, a couple of personal things came up. But that aside I do hope you enjoy this as I hope you don't mind that I did a hybrid of scenario/fic.

Keqing was asked to go investigate the suspicious activity that was going on near the entrance of the mines with only the mention that it is possibly involving the Fatui. On her travels to get to the location of course her mind had wondered to what she’d possibly find; then the thought of you popped into her head.

It had been so long… Maybe a couple of months since she last saw you since she cut ties after finding out you were with the enemy. There couldn’t be a possibility that you were still in Liyue after the whole incident that had taken place right, she didn’t want to worry about coming to come face to face when the pain and the memories of that day was still very fresh in Keqing’s head

Whatever or whoever was seemingly up to no good, Keqing’s resolve to keep all of Liyue and Liyue Harbor safe stayed strong. Upon arrival so far there had not been a soul in her sights, but of course continued to look around to see if she could find any signs of evidence that people were there. It was after a while of searching that Keqing walked up a couple of stairs until she heard a voice talking. She only saw two figures, one kneeling before the standing figure

“Boss, the rubble that’s blocking the entryway to the Chasm is far greater than initially suspected… It may take us longer to clear it all out,” the masked agent kneeling said. Keqing’s eyes widened at the new information as holding her sword in hand she rushed over to put a stop to the Fatui’s plans. “Stop right there,” she shouted getting both the agents attention; however, the kneeling agent was the only one who jumped up and looked at her

“Leave this to me, get back to the others and get the job done,” the other figure spoke as at that moment she knew right away it was you. When it was just the two of them Keqing’s hold on her sword loosened as she watched as the hood was pulled off. “Of all the people that could have been sent it had to be you… I really wish this wasn’t how we met again,” you said with a small sigh fully turned to face her removing your mask revealing the glimmer of the eyes Keqing had fallen in love with

“What’s the meaning of all of this (Y/n),” she asked as she was mad, she should be mad yet her heart betrayed her as it raced at the sight of you. “Unfortunately that’s classified information,” was all you spoke having a soft expression on your face before you summoned your weapon. “I’d much rather not fight you but knowing you, you just won’t simply walk away… So you give me no other choice.”

The fight between you two was fast as flashes of your elements clashed together blow for blow. The sounds of metals clashing and striking one another till eventually you both skidded apart from each other heavily breathing, small nicks and tears in clothing. The brief moment of the wind passing through before Keqing sprinted forward attacking again.

“You’re a traitor! A Lair,” Keqing shouted, striking her sword at (Y/n) who was simply blocking and staying on the defensive side. “You have every right to be angry with me; I’m sorry I didn’t tell you the truth. I knew if I did you wouldn’t give me the chance to explain, but please believe me when I say that I dated you because I loved you; I wasn’t trying to use you,” You further said blocking the barrage of attacks. Keqing gritted her teeth as she felt the ache of her chest; how could she believe anything you said, for all she knew you were simply trying to sweet talk her. “How can I believe you when you told them everything that I told you and everything that was in the Jade Chamber,” She shouted angrily, swinging her blade.

Her words of her assumptions of what you possibly did brought a sharp pain to your chest; instead of using your weapon to stop her attack you grabbed the blade by the hand; the small pain of the blade cutting into the skin causing blood to seep out. Looking at her with a hurt expression you looked Keqing in her purple eyes as she was staring back with a shocked expression by your actions. “You-you really think I’d stoop that low to tell the Fatui all the things you’ve told me about and what was in the Jade Chamber? I never told them anything; I might be working for them, but I’ve kept all of our conversations and that of the Chamber to myself this whole time,” You said, causing Keqing to freeze at your words in complete bewilderment. Though before any more words could be exchanged during your fight, the sound of a gun being shot, the two of you jumped back to watch a bullet engulfed in flames hit the dirt of where the two of you just were.

The other members had suddenly appeared shooting attacks as one of the Vanguards charged Keqing. Panic started to slowly overtake you as you had to watch Keqing fight off the others. “What are you all doing?! I told you to get the job done didn’t I,” You shouted trying to get them to back down, but it didn’t seem to be working. “We’ll make quick work of this one,” The Bracer said, aiming his gun to fire another round. Glancing back to Keqing it was clear she was doing her best to at most keep up and dodge the enemies attacks. In this crucial moment there was a decision to be made: to either walk away and let the others continue the fight and simply pray Keqing would flee or betray the Fatui in order to save the woman you still very much loved. Finally coming to your decision you first attacked the bracer to get him out of the way before running over to handle the rest. Getting knocked down Keqing was doing her best to get right back up, but only managed to sit herself up; her attention now on the electro vanguard who’s hammer was up in the air about to come down on her. Closing her eyes she waited for the impact… However after not feeling anything she opened her eyes only for them to widen at the scene before her; there you stood your weapon blocking the hammer before managing to push the tall man back.

“Who do you all think you are?! How dare you go against my orders like a bunch of morons,” You shouted angrily as though she couldn’t see the look on your face, she could only imagine how mad you were. “For your unacceptable behavior you all will face punishment,” you now spoke in a much lower tone, your vision surprisingly enough started to change to a different color before you charged at the other members of the Fatui. It still almost felt unreal of the turn of events that have taken place yet here you were fighting your own peers to protect her, the feeling of guilt creeping in on how she treated you. The fight dragged on a while longer until the last remaining members fled while they could, leaving you to stand by yourself with the few bodies that laid on the ground. You turned around to look over to Keqing to check on her and to your relief she wasn’t hurt too much. “You okay,” you asked, feeling your body grow heavy and tired from the wounds you’ve sustained. Blinking she snapped out of her trance and nodded her head uttering a small yes. “That’s… Good,” you replied smiling before falling over.

“(Y/n),” Keqing shouted, scurrying up to get to you, carefully turning you over gasping at the sight of how grave your injuries were. “Hey! Hey,” she loudly said cupping the side of your face to make you look at her as a flurry of mixed emotions were going on. “What’s the big idea huh?! What do you think you were doing,” she asked sternly as it pained her to see you in such a horrible condition. A weak laugh came out as you reached up a hand to overlap the one holding the side of your face running a thumb over her hand in a comforting manner. “I was pro-tecting you of… Course,” you answered before a hard cough briefly stopping you from talking. “It-it’s okay if you still… Hate me, but I hope that… At least this makes up… For all the bad I’ve done,” you further spoke, wincing when trying to breathe. Tears falling, Keqing feeling the weight of your words hit her heart hard, regretting how cruel she was. The rain started to fall, Keqing couldn’t just mope around and let you die; putting her strong urge to cry aside, she carefully picked up your body and made a run back to the harbor as hopefully Dr. Baizhu would be able to help.

Who knew how long you had been out for, though much to your surprise you were actually alive but how? The sight of an unfamiliar ceiling was the first thing you saw before you tried to move to sit up to further investigate your surroundings. “Don’t you dare try to move, you’ll only reopen your wounds,” the stern voice of Keqing rang in your ears as looking over she was now right beside you causing a small strained laugh out of you. “How could you be laughing, you could have died,” She said now sitting on the edge as she had a sad expression on her face. “Hehe sorry, sorry… But really if it meant that I knew you were safe I was well prepared to die,” You answered as suddenly Keqing was now gently hugging you and the soft sound of her crying reached your ears. “You idiot, you can’t go dying on me! I’m sorry, I’m so sorry for how cruel I was to you and all those harsh things I said to you. I love you so don’t try throwing your life away for me!” she spoke, carefully hugging you firmer. It brought a relief to you to hear that she still loved you so in return you put a hand on her back and rubbed it in a comforting manner. “It’s alright I never held it against you, though if it makes you feel better then I forgive you… I will always protect you, you’re the love of my life,” you responded with a soft smile. Having begun the mending of your relationship you two shared a short kiss before Keqing brought over some food and medicine for you to take; it would take time for you to get better, but at least you were still alive.

300 Followers Event: Hu Tao with 🌺🍰 please ^^

Beautiful Scars | Hu Tao x Reader

300 Special Event; Here

When Hu Tao realizes you have scars, she’ll admire them all the day along. Might even brag about it to Zhongli time to time. She’ll always complement them saying “they are so pretty” or asking “how you’d gain them?” And when you tell her stories on how you gained them she’ll always enjoy listening. Because it reminds her of how your scars have stories like the dead spirits she finds have theirs.

Starts out as sucrose doodle only but then i remembered that I love women

When you reject them

characters; Scaramouche, Kazuha, Childe, Yoimiya, Hu Tao

;contains a quite a few story spoilers! And a little yandere at Scara's part.

Zhongli, Ganyu and Ayaka were here originally but god idk what flaw i could use against disciplined peeps to get reader to dump them shshhsshs

Scaramouche

Ah. Of course.

This isn't the first time someone had rejected who he truly was. Who in the right mind would love a mere puppet? Maybe he shouldn't have revealed this truth he oh so despises.

He thought, that maybe, you were different, that you'd accept him and his feelings, not as The Balladeer or as the Shogun's prototype, but as Kunikuzushi, the forevermore chalked embodiment with a soul longing for appreciation.

But boy, was he wrong.

"I'm sorry, Kuni-, I mean, Scaramouche. But I simply wish to live in peace with my family." His arms stiffed under your sorrowful gaze as you handed him back the bouquet he bought for you. "And, being with you will prevent me from doing that."

"...I see." He looked away as he somehow heard his heart crack into small pieces.

"D-don't get me wrong!" You flailed your arms in concern, "You're a good person! But, I'm afraid I can't overlook your title as a Harbinger..."

You both had gone silent after. Well what could you say? You can't just apologize for breaking a man's heart. Especially to someone who's already as fragile as he is.

You felt your eyes widen when he slowly started approaching your figure. "What are you-"

You were cut off as he patted your head with a small rare smile upon his features.

"It's okay. Your cautiousness is one of the things I liked about you after all." He retracted his hand as he stepped back, slowly donning his hat once again. "I guess, this is farewell, as Kunikuzushi atleast." You noticed his hand gripped the bouquet tightly as he bowed towards you, before he turned around and started walking away, leaving you under the falling petals of sakuras.

What did he mean by "atleast"?

Kazuha

He slowly writhed in pain as he looked at you interact with Gorou. You both looked terribly down for each other, it was so obvious that you harbored feelings for each other that the whole resistance army ships you both.

He clutches the bamboo flute you had made for him specifically in his hand, reminding himself that not all hope has been lost, especially with the look of adoration you adorned him with as he played the flute during a sunset in Watatsumi Island.

"Y/n." You heard him call out from up the trees as you were making your way towards the camp.

"Oh, Kazuha." You smiled as you waved at him, which he took as signal to jump down in front of you.

"There's something I wanna tell you."

"What a coincidence. Me too!" You laughed a bit, too giddily...he thought. "You can go first though."

"I- uh, no. You can go first." He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. Could you possibly be...?

"O-oh well, actually..." You put your arms behind your back as your face flushed a bit. Kazuha gulped at your actions. Are you actually gonna...?

"Me and Gorou started dating!" You giggled happily, as he froze in shock, but alas, you didn't notice. "I actually wanted to tell you this quite a bit ago, since you're a close friend of ours, but-"

The rest of your words were tuned out as Kazuha stood completely still, not quite processing your words.

"You guys...are dating...?" He repeated, still not believing.

You stopped your babbling as you looked at him with a raised brow. "Yeah...we are. Are you okay? You don't look too well." You stepped closer to inspect his horrified look.

His doubts and thoughts spiraled as he tried to wrap his head around those words. He couldn't believe it. No way, he can't. He couldn't believe that...

he had lost you to him already. (this isn't really a rejection but i can't hurt my boy like that)

Childe

"Bleeghhhh! You'll never catch me!" Ajax stuck out a tongue as he dodged a snowball you had threw at him. "You always speak way to soon!" You ran behind a rock to dodge one of his throws as you scooped up another batch of snow.

Playing with him, never felt cold. Even in the everlasting cold winters in Schneznaya, simply being in his presence was warm and delightful, almost like a fireplace, haha. Kinda ironic, considering the sudden chill you felt down to the very bottom of your being when he walked past you silently after missing in the forest for 3 days straight.

He changed.

Just what had happened during those 3 days? It all still remains a mystery to you and his neighbourhood.

You frowned as he appeared before you once again, this time wearing an all too familiar uniform. Way proudly. Too proudly.

"Of course, you became a Harbinger. Of course." You sighed, disappointed with his choices. Where was the boy you loved who would always bring hot bread from his home to yours? And who was this man named Childe, in front of your doorstep?

"I-" His smile fell at your expression. "Aren't you proud?" You looked down at your feet as you spoke up, "I...how could i be proud? When you're now affiliated with the Fatui, as one of their lords at that?"

He blinked. Was this because he had stopped playing with you a few years back? "Are you...angry with me joining them?"

You looked at his lightless eyes as you cupped his face with gentle hands. "It's more like...I feel sad."

"About what?"

"It's nothing you have to worry about." You stepped back onto the other side of the doorstep, keeping your silent pleas for him to come back near your heart, long decided to be unsaid. "It's better to not be know, as it'll probably affect your line of work." You smiled as you tried to close the door, but suddenly his hand had stopped it.

"What are you saying?? I came here since I felt that..." He frowned. "That you felt the same way."

"What way? You mean loving you?"

"Yes."

"Childe." You stared at him blankly. "I'm engaged."

And he fell down into misery, yet again.

Yoimiya

"The fireworks are as spectacular as always, Yoimiya." You lifted your gaze to the sky blooming with colorful lights, "It seems you've went after a romantic theme for today." You say as you spotted multiple heart-shaped explosions in the sky.

"Oh, that's- uhmm..." Yoimiya looked down at her feet, with an uncharacteristically shy voice. "It's just..."

"Oya?" You felt your lips tug into a smirk. "Did our Queen of Narukami find herself a little crush? Mind telling me who has the honor of catching the attention of her majesty?"

"Eh???!" Her eyes widened as she felt herself get hotter.

"Pfft, you should really look at yourself right now." You laughed a bit at her sudden shyness.

"D-do you really wanna know who it is?"

You blinked at her demeanour. "Not if you're uncomfortable with it."

"It's fine." She put down her sparklers as she stood up, fully taking the view of the fireworks. "This person...has always been by my side." She started. "They...had always supported me with my passion for fireworks. Even though I failed many times, resulting in some severe burns, they were always the one patching me up, and telling me that I shouldn't give up, even if I didn't plan to, hehe."

You felt your chest tighten as you connected the dots. There's no way she's talking about...

"Hey, Y/n." She turned to you with a smile that mirrors the beauty of the fireworks, "I like you. I really do."

"..."

"I already know...that you like Ayaka, but...!"

"Yoimiya." You halted her words. You felt your mood dampen with the visible hurt in her eyes. "I...only see you as a sister of mine. I don't think i can-" You sighed, not wanting to have to tell her this way. "I don't think i can see you as anything beyond that."

You could only watch as she smiles to herself, and silently cry, knowing she'd never win against an actual princess.

Hu Tao

"Ah-!" You exclaimed as you felt something heavy jump on you from behind.

"Hello, my lovely Y/n!" She giggled as she stuck on to you like a koala, "Nice to see you today!"

You sighed as pried her off from you. "Hu Tao, not now. I'm busy." You heard her huff as she crossed her arms.

"Collecting debts is sooo boring! Why don't you come work at the parlor instead?" She winked at you, as if she just suggested some completely genius. "I'll give you an extra bonus on your pay if you bring new customers, ehe!"

"Stop disrupting my work. Besides, the Tsaritsa has given me enough money already."

"Then why continue working for themmmmm, boo hooo!"

"Hu Tao, just leave me alone. I don't feel like dealing with you today."

She felt a pang in her heart, yet her smile didn't waver. "Oh, come on! Just admit it, you like me being around-"

"No. You're annoying." You stated as you looked towards her. "I seriously don't get why you keep going after me. Can't you go annoy someone else, like Zhongli?"

Her ruby eyes widened at your harsh words. "I-I just wanted to-"

"To cheer me up?" You fixed your position to fully face her. "Being in the Fatui has shown me all the ugly sides of this world. You're only constantly reminding me of my siblings that I'll never see again."

Hu Tao looked down at her feet, knowing fully well that she did nothing but pester you.

"My anger towards you right now may be misplaced, but you'll need to know that I also need space."

"I already know all of that." She spoke up, with a new determined look in her orbs. "It's precisely why I keep insisting you to be with me so you could be happy. You're all alone...and i just wanted to change that."

You frowned at her words, "Why are you trying so hard to-"

"Because I love you!"

Your eyes widened as she gritted her teeth. "I've always loved you!"

"Hu Tao."

"-Ever since that time you found me at Wuwang hill, and helped me move on from my grandfathe-"

"Hu Tao."

She looked up with tears prickling her eyes.

"If I were the same person all those years ago, I would've accepted your confession with no question." You looked down at your own feet this time,

"But unfortunately, I'm not the same as I used to be."

Reblog if you think asexuality is a real thing that actually exists.

I'm trying to prove something.

Hu Tao with an s/o that died

- gender neutral

- TW: death, angst, not proofread

- Notes: this is just a little practice and maybe a sort of a part 2 of another post (also contains leaks from Hu tao’s vision story if you haven’t read it already)

Part 1

Hu Tao

She’s seen lot of deaths and experienced a few but never had she ever thought that’s he would have to experience yours, reminding her of her grandfather and when he passed. She wonders what she could have done to prevent this and Old Hu’s death. She hates this and wonders why it couldn’t have been her that had to depart from this life, wanting to take your place so you could have lived happily despite her being gone.

Despite your death she manages to put on a happy demeanor to cover the pain that was imprinted onto her after having to experience the pain from seeing you dead. She does however conduct your funeral with the help of your family (she tries to make it with everything you liked). She sits front row at the funeral, despite how much she tries to stop crying she can’t, she can’t bare to not mourn your death.

After having the funeral she keeps some of your stuff with her as a memory of you, sometimes she would even go to where you had to your first date or where you first met and would just find a place to sit or whatever and remember all the fun time she had with you. (Also taking into consideration that she probably has some sort of ptsd from seeing you dead). Nightmares keep her up at night because of everything to the point you could see dark circles and eye bags under her eyes if she didn’t cover them good with makeup. Even then she still manages to keep a happy facade, like you wanted her to. (She probably doesn’t move on after a while though)

YOU THINK I’M JOKING BUT I’M DEAD SERIOUS

Jean's S/O dying from saving her

- S/O followed the trail back to Mondstadt, eager to tell Jean about their travels the past few weeks, but that enthusiasm was put out quickly.

- They could see the city in sight, but smoke was coming from within the walls. Too much smoke.

- With their eyes widening every second, they bolted to the gates to find out what was happening.

- Meanwhile, Jean sheathed her rapier and quickly examined the situation.

- The knights were able to hold back the Hilichurl attack at the back gate to the city finally securing it. She turned her attention to the main gate.

- Other knights were evacuating the citizens, but there were too many to handle on their own.

- She clenched her teeth as she ran to the gates.

- Now, S/O had entered the city through the back gates and saw what was going on.

(Knight) "Hey, what are you doing, get with the others to safety!"

(Knight 2) "The city is under attack, remain calm and-"

- S/O saw Jean fighting an entire group by herself, not realizing that there was another group approaching from behind.

- They weren't a fighter, but the Knights were too busy helping the other citizens evacuate.

- S/O sprinted towards Jean, shouting her name to make her look behind.

- Jean used her vision to blow away the group in front of her and saw S/O, seeing the group trying to ambush her in time.

- S/O was about to breathe a sigh of relief before they felt their entire body jolt violently, all of their senses frozen in place.

- Everything in front of Jean slowed down to a crawl. S/O had gotten her attention, as well as the enemy.

- An Abyss Mage had fired an ice spike that went straight through S/O, S/O dropping on their knees and falling over.

- Jean angrily tore her way through the ambushing group, with Knights pincering the Abyss Mage.

- Before the Abyss Mage could teleport, she used her vision again to blow them into the wall, letting the other Knights finish it off.

- Quickly checking her surroundings, there was no other group in the city.

- The knights rushed over in front of Jean, securing the area.

(Knight) "Acting Grand Master! It's S/O!"

(Jean) "S/O!"

(S/O) "J-Je...an-"

(Jean) "Don't speak! You're going to be fine, just-"

(Knight) "Acting Grand Master, it's not looking good..."

- The knight was doing his best to heal S/O, but they were losing too much blood.

- And Jean knew that.

(S/O) "Thank...Barbatos you're safe..."

(Jean) "I am thanks to you, but...!-"

(S/O) "Don't...blame yourself...please."

- S/O's hand weakly grabbed Jean's. She could feel herself shaking while S/O's grip grew more loose by the second.

(S/O) "If you're safe then...that's all that matters...Everyone still...n-needs........-"

- S/O stopped moving. Jean couldn't bring herself to look at their face, the eyes losing their light as they stared blankly past her.

- Jean's body dropped down onto S/O's hand. She wanted to do nothing but sob. To scream out and weep rivers for S/O.

- But, S/O was right.

- Mondstadt still needed her.

- She got back up and turned away from S/O's body.

(Jean) "Secure the area and tend to the injured. I want no other casualties."

- The knight got up and closed S/O's eyes for her. It was the least he could do, not being able to imagine what she was feeling right now.

(Knight) "At once."

- ...

- ...

- Jean stood in front of S/O's grave, silently staring at it.

- It had been a week since the invasion of Mondstadt, and she had buried S/O the day after.

- Though it still felt like Jean just watched it happen.

- S/O died because of her. Because she didn't think anyone would try to attack from behind. Something she should have seen coming.

- And if it weren't for them, she'd be in that grave right now.

- She slowly put the dandelions near her mouth and gently blew it.

- The seeds flew off, slowly and across S/O's grave. Most of it landed on the dirt in front of the tombstone.

- She looked up to the sky, feeling tears form up again. Jean didn't bother trying to hide it this time.

- The skies were a bright blue without a single cloud, some of the seeds flying off out of sight.

(Jean) "We have been blessed with another beautiful day, thanks to you...But...You are not here to see it..."

(Barbara's voice) "Big sis?"

- Jean instinctively had her arms reach for her face, about to wipe away the tears, but she felt arms wrap around her.

(Barbara) "Please, don't...Let it all out."

- Jean had remained composed and stone faced throughout the week, trying to get everything back under control.

- Despite the concerns for her personal well-being, she pushed it off for the sake of Mondstadt.

- But now...

- She slumped down and fell onto her knees, her head burying into Barbara's shoulder.

(Barbara) "I'm so sorry, Jean..."

- Barbara didn't say anything else as Jean sobbed into her shoulder.

- No matter how much time passed, Jean would never forgive herself for S/O's death.
