You walked over to the sad, pitiful man and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. <span class="mu-r">“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of her. She’s my friend too.”</span>
Warren gave you a grateful smile, but it was still tinged with grief and guilt. It wasn’t a perfect solution by any means, but it was the best that any of you could do.

2 hours later, Gwen and W returned from their little chat, with Letty trialing close behind. Gwen looked like she had more to say, but from one look at W, you could tell that whole ordeal was absolutely exhausting for an emotionally stunted introvert such as her.
The two women had so much to catch up on, but it would have to be served up into little bite-sized chunks. Until W could tolerate interacting with another human for an extended period of time, their next sharing session would have to wait.
When Gwen returned, neither she nor Warren said a word to each other. She did, however, permit W to give him one last long hug before she left her creator’s care.
From there, Letty escorted you, Gwen and W back towards the portal where you’d entered from. The big blonde amazon was taciturn in her behavior the entire way back, with only the news of you having a place for W to stay being the one development she was more or less satisfied with.
After a long walk in near total silence, Gwen finally spoke up.
<span class="mu-g">“How long have you known?”</span> she asked. <span class="mu-g">“About W, I mean.”</span>
You were afraid that this would come up.
>”I learned about her a month ago, but this is the first time that I’ve actually seen her face.”>”She was introduced to me a little while before the attack on ESU. I wanted to tell you before, but there was a lot going on at the time.”>”I met her around the same time that I met my own clone. He was taking care of her long before I was.”>”Judging by how long you guys have been in there, I feel like you already know the answer to that.”>”I won’t make any excuses here. I didn’t want to tell you before because I was afraid that you’d have a violent reaction to it.”>Write-in.Pastebins:
