There's always a chance that another loss is around the corner. Pidge isn't so naive that she would believe otherwise. But dammit she is not going to let it happen easily; she refuses to let it happen without putting up one hell of a fight. Her friends, her family, mean too much to her and she can't go through it again.

But he had been through so much in his own right that even with everything that she had weighing her down right now, she couldn't help but worry that he was bottling up a lot.
She'd felt the way he'd clung when she'd hugged him.
"I..if there's anything else I can do.." She motions to his arm when she says it, wanting to make it clear she's talking about more than just his physical well being right now. "We're in this together, all of us. So you can..you don't have to be a leader all the time."
