[Riley's right about a lot of things. Maya had gone through it alone. She'd thrown herself into a relationship too quickly, and had been too embarrassed to let Hans see her suffering. She spent her first fog writhing on a Dyster floor while her eyes melted out of her head to make room for their monstrous replacements. It's the kind of agony that she'll never reveal to anyone. And that's why it's important for her to be here when it happens for Riley. Riley shouldn't have to hurt without having company. Riley's too good for that.
Maya clutches her close when her skin pigment fluctuates. She draws Riley into a more complete hug, rubbing her back slowly.]
Ssh... ssh, I know.. It's okay if you need to cry. I'm here.
