"It is what it is." Basira doesn't miss a beat; it shouldn't have been what it was, but it was. There wasn't anything to do about the fact, even if it was, in fact, bullshit. Disconnects aren't there if you don't look at them for what they are, right?
"She's--- better now. Hasn't been starving for a few years now. Apparently she got dragged somewhere else, and was able to Hunt without it taking her over. So she's doing--- good."
There's some hesitance on that last word. Basira believes it, of course - but it doesn't come without its caveats and complications. Calling someone embracing a Fear, to be stuck in that sort of state, good feels wrong. But it's better than the alternative, at least, and that alone has to be good enough.
