Kai actually smiled through the tears when Theo rubbed her hand, and Kai squeezed her hand in return. She had been so desperate for human contact. She wanted to hug her again, but that probably wasn't okay.
"Um, I was here at the beginning," she answered, using the back of her free hand - the one that wasn't desperately clutching Theo - to wipe her tears. "And people changed a lot, so maybe no one I know is here anymore. But oh God, that would be terrible. I hope they're all still here. Or, you know, home. Um. Jack. Val, Lana, Ariel... Lennon. Juno. There were lots of others, but I hadn't met everyone else, you know? Those first few weeks were so crazy. Pam, Marco... Kiley. Um. The one guy, the map guy, Chase. He was super shy but I liked him. Evie. Others I never talked to."
