<strong>Mayson Siemsen</strong><br/><strong>Shopping center parking lot</strong><br/><strong>With everyone inside the centre</strong><br/><hr/><br/>Mayson heard Sana's words but barely understood or processed them, her mind still consumed by the shock as she stared out the window towards the blaze and chaos. Hearing Michelle's name turned out to be what snapped her out of it at least somewhat, her concern for her friend trumping everything else in the present moment.<strong>"Mmhm,"</strong>she acknowledged softly, allowing herself to be guided in the right direction by the hand which Sana had placed on her back.<br/><br/>They found the girl understandably confused and distressed. Michelle's face looked pretty bad, but Mayson forced herself not to say anything and not to cringe in empathy, not wanting to risk making her even more upset. Once they were all home and safe, then they could take better care of her. Mayson had already decided that she and Sana were taking her home with them, there was no way that they could let Michelle go off on her own like that, especially with her friend having apparently disappeared all of a sudden.<br/><br/><strong>"Hey...you're okay,"</strong>she whispered as comfortably as she could, placing her hands on Michelle's shoulders to help steady her.<strong>"We're going to be okay, we're going home now. You're staying with us. Your friend was fine but she had to go check on her family,"</strong>Mayson lied, hoping that Oliva had family in the area so that it wouldn't be obvious. She just didn't want to make Michelle feel any worse than she already probably did.<strong>"Michie, can you walk?" </strong>
