"It'll grow back," Neo tried to reassure her. He knew that wasn't the only problem, but it was an easier one to deal with than the rest of it. There was a solution to that one. It would take a while, but her hair would grow back. The life she'd know, however, would not. "Mine did."
When she made for the door, Neo hurried after her. Not to stop her. This wasn't a prison. She was free to come and go as she wished. But to help her. If she needed help. If she'd let him help, and that was looking pretty unlikely.
"Here, look, just..." Neo reached for the door when she couldn't open it, but he couldn't open it. Not yet. Not until she was calmer. If she ran out there now, she might get hurt. "You're not a prisoner! You can leave when you want. But you're weak, disorganized. You could get hurt."
It is!
