[ Just in case, Hotaru lies down. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, many deep breaths. She doesn't know much about meditation, but she wishes she does at that moment. It won't be easy, but she wants to make this easier however she can.
She doesn't know what Dave means by keep her steady, but she trusts him. She trusts everyone in the room. She opens her eyes and looks at each of them to remain calm. She's safe. They'll keep her safe.
She bumps her first against Dirk's. ]
Thank you. All of you. I'm ready.
[ Dirk said he worked out all the logistics out with Jake and Dave, so she'll believe she won't die by the end of this.
