Nike relaxed a bit more as she felt Styx's hands on her and even smiled a bit more. She looked up to her mother and nodded. "I think we're selfish for wanting that, wanting you up here with us all the time, but deep down we know it can't be, but I think we... I've known we could call you anytime and you'd be here." She was feeling rather different now, and bad for how she'd been even if she did think what she had was valid. She just hoped that it could be better and Styx would forgive her for it.
"I hope so," she said, her head tilting up. "We'll all be fine, I know it." Nike smiled at the mention of her aunt, one of the nicest people she knew. "Helping isn't so bad is it?" she asked and couldn't help but laugh a little. "We can't have that."
The laughing lasted a little before it segued into tears of another sort and she looked to her mother again, biting on her bottom lip as she spoke. "I'm sorry, for so many things."
