[ What should she do? Sakura's never been in this position before, faced with a child who is clearly upset over reasons she doesn't want to voice. She frets a little on the inside, doing all she can to not show her own emotion, but it does seep through. After all, Sakura's never been one to contain her feelings so easily. ]

You are? [ Because right now she feels as if she's been upsetting everyone with her presence (or at least a certain someone) so it was kind of nice to hear. Just why did it feel so nice to hear?

Oops, that was indeed a sniffle from Sakura's end too. ] Sorry, it's just that you remind me a lot of someone I really care for and I can't stop thinking about how much I want to care for you in return.

[ She remembers now.

What it's like to feel alone and to cry all by herself. Her first couple nights away from home were full of bold remarks about how glad she was to be away from her parents and chores while deep down she wanted nothing more than to be with them. To be thrown into an unknown situation without anyone there to hold her and tell her that everything was going to be okay... Sakura knew how she would have handled it when she was younger. ]

You're really brave, you know. I just want to cry for you because you're being so brave right now. [ Yeah fine, whatever. It's not unheard of for girls to hug one another and if the genin felt threatened, she could substitute herself out.

Incoming one side hug from the mother who is completely unaware of her position. ] Your parents should be so proud to have raised such a courageous girl!
