He blinks at her in surprise, and starts: "I don't think--"

He doesn't finish that sentence. What he wants to say is that he doesn't think her soul is damned. He knows she's too forceful by half and has quite a few interesting things to say about government officials, but the fact that she is standing here, with him, hand on his shoulder says something. The fact that she's wearing that mask says something too. She's always been kinder to him than he would have any right to expect, and whatever she did in her past - and he has no idea what that is - there is always forgiveness.

He just doesn't have the energy to get into that right now, not on top of everything else.

"This is on the UE," Jaime says instead, voice trembling a little with the feeling of it, though whether it's anger or sadness he can't say. "But - all of these people, Helena, people we're supposed to protect. And we can't save even one. Not really."
