Chrissy can count on one hand the number of people she's seen crying. Eddie Munson is probably the last person she would have ever anticipated adding to that list. He'd always seemed so fearless when she'd seen him around at school, so seeing him like this now makes her want to cry, too.

She's always felt kind of awkward about other people crying because figuring out what to say to make someone feel better is difficult when you have no basis of comparison. Laura has never been the warmest person, so all Chrissy knows for certain is that she wants to do better than her mother.

So she sinks to her knees and slides her arms around him. She's quiet for a long moment, unsure of what to say and unwilling to interrupt him, because she knows better than anyone that sometimes you just need to get it out.

It's only when he seems to be calming down that she finds her words. "I already told you- none of that was your fault. You tried to help me when nobody else could, and that means a lot to me." And sure, she probably could have tried a little harder to tell somebody else, but at the time she'd just thought she was losing her mind. "You have no reason to apologize."
