It was Bruce's turn to comfort her, and he chose to gently take one of her hands and squeeze it, eyes on hers. "Your compassion and your intelligence show how high you can rise, and even the best of us all can fall. "
He smiled softly at her. "You are an amazing scientist and an amazing woman, Helena, and no one, not in any world, could do better." he nodded.
Then he smirked. "With perception and with patience, we can stimulate even the darkest of times to make a joy of it, and we can encourage it slowly to bring out the brightest fierceness of data, and create a new moment, one with wonder, and entangled futures, where a new and a complete experiment will blossom."
