Kate saw he tears and heard Alyx whimper. She wiped her own tears. Their lives were so tragic. Kate held Alyx to her. "She is here and you can see her again. This is not your fault." Kate knew she stepped out of bounds. She hated to see him cry. "Forgive me Alyx. I had to know how you felt about her. You were close friends. I know you worried about her. She has been through some horrible ordeals. Reika is very strong. She sleeping now. I need to get back to her." Kate was not sure he heard her. She gave him a vision of the meadow with mythological creatures. "Stay here until awaken for duty." Kate kissed his cheek and hugged him. Kate  spoke barely a whisper. She looked over and saw  the Captain was sounds asleep. Kate rubbed Alyx's arms and covered him.
