...I'm all right. It's not fair, but Strohl would've wanted to be stopped, at least.
[ maya's not his teammate so he'll let rin handle that conversation. ]

No. He very much wouldn't want to be in that position. I don't imagine he feels very at peace about it even now.

But the three of them were really close. Strohl, Hulkenberg, and Vi. They'll support each other.
