More people gathered and Samus took to sitting a few chairs across from Jeff at the table and remained silent with her thoughts, communicating only with a nod at Falcon as he took his leave. Too many people gathered here; she could understand and relate. Jeff had plenty of friends and good people to take care of him, that was certain. Despite that she found herself compelled to stay even if she was only watching Jeff from afar.
She couldn't help but draw comparisons to when Otacon left and came back--younger and with no memory of what had happened. The codec disowning, all the drama and negative feelings, all gone on his end. It stayed with Samus. With Jeff it was the opposite; good feelings, watching him grow and even go so far as to call him a mother. The closest thing she could ever have to a child of her own. Was that going to be gone too...?
"Samus." The blonde answered simply, if a little sadly.
