[ And it isnt even a matter of not wanting 'more than just a conversation' with Claude, but she doesn't say as much, unsure of where he stands.

It's definitely a weird situation, but the moment he reaches for her hand, she reaches back and holds on tight. Claude was someone who had supported her through the hardest times in her life, a friend and ally whose unwavering faith in her had inspired her to turn the tides of war. She didn't have the vocabulary to ascribe words to the way she felt about him, and then the war ended and he left.

She's missed him so much. ]

I've never been stuck with you, Claude. I chose you, and I don't regret it. I never have.
