It's awful, and he doesn't say it out loud, but his first instinct is to wonder how this happened. She had been cursed to be a bluebird, and supposedly the only way she could be uncursed was to trade him and Greg to Adelaide, and without that she would be a bluebird forever. She's clearly not a bluebird now, so what happened? How did she pull it off in Wonderland? Did she trade someone else away?

As soon as he has the thought though, he regrets it. Adelaide isn't even here. He glances through Beatrice's open door, and he thinks about what Cami said. He's wavered on it for a while now, unsure whether he had really made a difference by being Beatrice's friend or not, but...her room really has a memory of him in it. Together, playing as little kids, like real friends. That was the cherished memory Wonderland was showing her, and it speaks volumes.

He has no idea what to do when she first starts crying, and it seems so strange coming from Beatrice somehow. He's not sure whether that's because Beatrice doesn't seem like someone who would cry much or if it's just that birds don't usually cry, but he's...never been great at comforting people. His instinct is to keep her at a distance so he can't make it worse, but at least he knows that definitely will make it worse. This needs to stop. She's obviously sorry, and he feels like a jerk for making it last so long in the first place.

So, he carefully walks over to her, and sits down by her side. For a minute he doesn't say anything, and just lets her cry if she needs to while he searches for words.

"...I'm sorry too," he finally says. "You-- you were just trying to save your family. And you didn't actually go through with it, so..."
