It was about this time that Quo came back, with Jaku this time. My cell door opened and Quo entered. "Okay, I'll come back to let you out when you message me." Jaku closed the cell door and left. Now it was just me and Quo. "..." It was awkward, like back when we first met. She sat next to me and pulled me tight. My face flushed as I leaned into her embrace. It was silent but the awkward atmosphere was fading. Eventually I lay down on her lap. I hugged her waist, pressing my face into her stomach. At first she flinched back in surprise but then she just smiled and patted my head. Once again my tears slowly started up again. This time Quo didn't have any comforting words for me. Instead rather than just making the tears go away for now, she went for the source of the problem.
