Whatever this sickness is, it's beyond everyone's understanding, it seems. With all the healers they have in the Circle, it has to mean something that they haven't been able to cure it or even keep it at bay. It's intimidating, thinking it about like that.

But the fact that Allura has made a difference right now is the first encouragement he's felt in a while. He shakes his head. "Don't be sorry. This is better. And it's the first time I've even had some hope for better since this all started. So thank you, Allura."

He means it too. This is movement in the right direction, and for the good it does to the shreds of his hope alone, he's grateful.
