[Rei would apologize but Yuri is absolutely right. This is cathartic, and it's an admission. She needs to make it, get it out, push out all of these feelings. With a soft, almost inaudible sigh, she closes her eyes. She had been a little worried her friends would think less of her for drunkenly sleeping with someone. Yuri most of all, though she can't put her finger on why yet.

Swallowing thickly, she continues, letting her thoughts continue.]

It...may have been because something was wrong. I don't know. But they got scared and took off, and you've seen that they have wings. They...ah...carried us into the sky. [Shaking a bit, she scoots closer to her friend, unable to avoid a tremble in her hand. Not from fear, but more from knowing what came next and what she needed to get out.]

Creatures appeared from somewhere. Like shadows on the moon. I don't know what they were, but I couldn't defend Justine and the Thestrals. [That part comes out smoothly at least.] One of them got her while I was concentrating on the horses. so...we wouldn't crash. Only once that happened, the carriage...it broke apart and we fell.

I don't know how I survived. [She lies, but only out of habit.]

Something happened, a flash and a voice in my head, and I was on the ground...and she was...she was gone.
