From the things that Gren had told her previously, Misty can imagine the chance she's taking. And it's worth it. If someone had a chance to come in and rescue her from that classroom, she would hope they'd take that risk. It's why she's willing to take that risk for him.

Wonderland is giving her a chance at having people that are hers, those she can trust and hopefully trust her. There's nothing this place can throw at her that she won't risk for them. She's been to Hell once. She's died at the stake. Wonderland can bring it on.

He agrees, and despite that, her heart sinks. Watching that conflict on his face, knowing what she's taking from him, it's painful and leaves her heart feeling like shattered glass. She's broken something, she fears, and she's not even sure she truly can rescue him from this place. Except the dock had been there, and she came down the beach, and that's all she can hope for. That it all still remains beyond the door she stepped through.

So she closes the gap between them, reaching for his hand. She fears without that his resolve might give. Or hers.

"I'm so sorry. If I could give you your life back, I would." Even if it means one less person here she is already beginning to consider hers. Misty attaches to people quickly, having spent her whole life waiting for a place where she belongs. "But I can't. I can only do my best to protect you from this place if I can."

It's all she can offer, but maybe despite the way he looks, maybe it can be enough.
