[ The description of the baby just makes her sad, a weight that lingers in her chest. No way the kid can survive on its own. She doesn't know how all this works, how any of them came to be here. The explanations she's gotten so far all sound like flimsy excuses -- no one knows anything.
But she'd asked if she was with someone last she remembered, if it was likely that person would be here too. The answers hadn't been encouraging. ]
I'm Vi. If you need to find me again.
[ She echoes. It's all she can offer.
She gives a final nod of something that's meant to be encouraging, but mostly just a good-bye, then shoves her hands in her pockets and continues on her way.
Sally will have to come to her own dark conclusions in her own time. Vi isn't equipped to handle this woman's grief on top of her own. ]
