Advika had a slight smile at first when he mentioned his family, but it turned into a sad frown as the story went on. She was quiet for the most part, except for the small, barely audible gasp about the bombs. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I mean, I know that's one of the worst things to say to someone who's lost their family but, still, I'm so sorry. I don't think you should have experienced that, no one does." For some reason, Advika's instincts caused her to put a hand on his shoulder in a comforting way, "Maybe you survived because something was meant for you, I understand why you would wish you were dead, I get it, but, since you're alive, at least try to remember that you're carrying their names in their honor. That you're living your life for them." She continued on, her voice soft and gentle, like a mother to their child. Nature's sound added to the effect, making the whole scene hold a lot more volume. The trickling of the creek, the barely silent howl of the wind, the rustled of the leaves, and so many other sounds.
