She seems like she's having a tough time. [she puts this carefully, tactfully] And she said she'd probably be dangerous to someone like me so I didn't go see her in person, just told her she could call me if she needed.
I was kind of hoping you'd talked to her, 'cause I haven't heard from her or seen her on the network.
I think she'd really like that. [Hopefully. Annie doesn't know Shiro at all, but the girl seems lonely, and Credence has very little to fear from anyone.
She lights up a cigarette, feeling better about Credence but no less alone, no less like she has her back to a wall. Smoking staves off loneliness, grief, trauma. If Credence ever hits a serious snag in his progress, she'll introduce him to a Kool and tell him about its powers as a personal therapist.
And then Alec might kill her, so that's a last resort.]

I haven't really - I mean, not since -
Is she okay?

Let me know how it goes, huh?

...I'm sorry I changed my mind.
I do want to, I'm just...there's too many things that might go wrong.

I...
I'll remember that.
Thank you, Annie. You're...a good friend.
