[ being here, in this memory as it plays out -- while she knows it won't make a difference, maya rush over, tries to pull this woman off of Rupert ]
Leave him alone!
[ but she gets rebuffed regardless from the drew barrymore strength, and spends the rest of the memory just watching. it's sickening, horrifying, and rupert's last words make her heart ache. when it's finished, when the wind has settled, she reaches for rupert, giving him a tight, wordless hug ]
[caught up for it in a moment as well, reliving instead of surprised - honestly, the surprise comes when maya moves in and hugs him. after a moment, he returns it.]
