These two have a lot in common. She never wants to be a burden to others, so Sheena tries to not show her emotions in the moment, saying she's "fine". But there have been those times when the grief fueled her determination and desire to help and protect others after bringing her to her knees.
But it wasn't just the grief that helped her. Her friends also supported her, lending her their strength whenever she needed it--but wouldn't ask for it. Such a stubborn thing, always willing to help, but never outright asking for it.
She also tends to not ask if others need help, she just dives right on in--which brings her to where she is right now. Listening to the waver in the other woman's voice and knowing she's not "fine".
"I see." She looks around for a moment before continuing. "That's the problem with memories: they last a lot longer than the actual moment. And can come back at any time they want."
Fistbump!

Yes, she is a voice of experience.
