[Shell's eyes snap open when he hears that sniffle, shocked when he sees tears running down Diva's cheeks. What was wrong... what did he say? He's confused and at a loss, until she speaks.]

[Ah... so that was it.]

[He's not sure whether she's want comfort, nor whether it'd be appropriate to give her a hug unprompted. But he still steps closer, setting a hand on her shoulder so she knows the offer is there.]

...you must love her a lot.

[Be it a lover or a sibling, love was love. Maybe if he were closer to his own family, he might relate to that a little more himself -- but it's not as though he can't still sympathize.]

I know it's easier to say than it is to hear things like 'you'll see her again someday', but... I really hope you do.
