Stop holding it back."<br><br>Just the mention of crying made her eyes water again. Vista wiped it away once more, "I've cried enough."<br><br>"If your body wants to cry, then you should listen to it. It doesn't make you any weaker if you let it happen. You think I've never cried? Looking like I do, facing the disappointments and frustrations I have? Maybe it's self-serving to think so, but I think it takes a kind of strength to let yourself face your emotions like that."<br><br>The tears were rolling down her cheeks, now. She let her head hang, her damp hair a curtain between her and her team leader. He stood, pulled her into a hug. She pressed her face against his shirt. It was soft, but the body beneath was hard, unyielding. It was still very gentle.<br><br>When she pulled away, a few minutes later, his shirt was damp. She sniffled, taking the offered tissue to wipe at her eyes and nose, Weld spoke, gently, "I'm always here to talk, and the therapist will be there too."<br><br>Vista nodded. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/sentinel-9-5/ Excerpt] from [[Sentinel 9.5]]</ref> following his counseling.<ref name="9.5e2">Feeling strangely calm despite the pain that radiated through the back of her head, where it had struck the ground, Vista spoke, "Weld said it takes a kind of strength to face your emotions.
