it's exactly as he perceives. cold, wet and extremely miserable --- jolyne is at her rock bottom. she won't confirm his statement, she won't even lift her eyes to meet his as she's determined to not let go of the small amount of dignity she's been left with. it isn't as if his words come from concern anyway, they are merely siblings by biology ; he hates her, and though she is unwilling to look at his face to confirm, he is probably thriving in her misery.
the worse part about it all --- it isn't as though she blames him. she is the product of a love that more than likely brought him a misery worse than the one she is experiencing right now. the delinquent can't even imagine the pain he and his mother must have felt and if her pride would let her, she'd express just how sorry she is to him.
“ i'm fine, ” not an apology, but it's the only thing she can muster. / 🦋 / accepting !
