[And again, she means it. Everyone did such a good job, and really, things could have been so much worse. Only two Reclaimers were killed. The people who listened and tried to evacuate, almost all of them made it to the surface safely, too. They recovered the stupid Relic. They even saved Cocoa!
But things could have been so much better, too. She doesn't want to dig through the rubble and find anyone else. She knows there are so many dwarves she and Minato had spent time together with who are buried under there.
Kaede wants to tell her things will be okay. But it's hard to muster up that kind of energy when she's still struggling to tell herself that. She wants to tell Sayori about a song she'd play to cheer her up! But she can't even muster that right now, not when her hand rests against a shattered violin. All that keeps coming to mind are duets for violin and piano.
So she doesn't say anything. She just leans a little bit sideways, bumping her shoulder gently against Sayori's in silent support.]
