At last she finds him, and her hope flares for an entire second at finally seeing him again and alive!

That hope is short-lived, however, as it quickly breaks away into worry once she sees the state he's in. More blood, more pain. He's hurting all over again, despite that the torture he endured is over, that Ayumi is now contained. The stench from the cabin, the rain, that blood-- it all evokes unwelcome memories. She'd rather neither of them be reminded of that, so she waves her hand above her to clear the rain to a light drizzle. If he's just returned, it won't do to have him be wet and cold, bloody or broken.

She jogs over, slowing down to a stop just a few yards before him, setting down the basket she brought. After a nervous pause, she steps forward, her voice soft and careful. "L...Lu Meng."

She's called his name so many times, hardly ever getting more than a response besides his negative emotions that push her away. She doesn't think he wants to push her away; he's just hurt and fearful. Anyone would be, after going through that. "It's me... It's Sanae. I'm here to help..."

She reaches out toward him, to try to place a reassuring hand over his hunched shoulder.
