[The frail woman is given a small smile in return. No need for thanks or feeling out of sorts, and it's okay. They're both depression gals here, and Ciel does intend on looking out for her as long as she can. At this shrine, before having to delve into... the rest of the protocol.]

[It was too bright for her, when she first found herself in that space. Now, the light is nothing short of scathing, she may burn up like the very creatures of the night she's dedicated her life to exterminating if she were to take her chance vnturing in. And a monster like her is to be tasked with bringing this Innocent woman back to Achamoth?

Life truly isn't fair. Sorry.]
