[Her voice fades out. There's only one way forward and Yeager takes a breath before checking the next crystal.
The memories play out one by one, painting a picture of what exactly it was like. He's heard Dorothy's words and she did a good job of explaining her situation, but it's different seeing it. It's different knowing the pain she went through and how it shaped her into who she is now, and the terrifying idea that she has to slowly open herself up to the people here, whether she wants to or not. That maybe she can find a life worth living again, even if it isn't ever the one she would have wanted. That she can willingly trust people - humans - when they turned their backs on her and left her to die.]
I'm on my way, Dorothy. I won't keep you waiting much longer.
[She shouldn't have to suffer through this alone. It doesn't matter that he's one of those humans; she chose to trust him. So he can return that now, when she needs it most. Dorothy has been trying to move forward and he won't let her be chained back down by her past.
