It is the first moment where the old Guri wants to pop up. To turn back on the emotions so she'd know what to do, what to say. To stroke Alice's hair, and tell her everything will be fine. But she also knows the weight that comes with that simple expression of warmth - the part of her that had a shared world with Alice, in which this could have been an important moment; a gentle time to share, to truly feel warmth and romance.

And that's ashes now.

So they remain off, but she does adjust the blankets over her. That much is common sense.

"I will stand watch," she says, quietly, moving to shut the door.
