"Put... everything back together?" Once she was out of the car, Naomi tilted her head back, eyes locked on the small, equally-blue expanse of sky that peeked through the trees. Her voice was quiet, the tone almost dangerous.
That danger became evident when a wind that most certainly hadn't been there before began to whip at her hair and there were sparks of red light in the air around her. The trouble with being anywhere close to an esper when their emotions were even the slightest bit... wild was that things just tended to happen around them.
And right now, Naomi's tenuous grip on her own emotions was slipping. She was angry-- not at Jolt, he was trying-- but at herself. She was frightened. She was confused, and upset, and so many other things that she would have given anything not to be. Just as she would have given anything not to have Jolt witness her like this.
"The more something cracks, the more likely it is to break." It was a simply stated fact. "The sooner it breaks, the harder it is to put back together. Even for an esper. If this..." She shook her head, taking a step back, and then another. "Maybe you're right, and I'm cracking, but that's-- that's exactly why I didn't want to-- with you, especially-- if I break, you'll--"
Naomi broke off, staring at the Volt almost helplessly. This probably wasn't what he'd intended when he'd searched her out, and now the poor Autobot had to be wondering if his human friend had completely lost it.
