"And neither will you. That's my promise for you in return."
The sheer, overwhelming relief of you are not going back takes precedence in her mind, a weight she didn't know she was carrying lifted and lost in the endless ocean. There's a lot she'll have to sift through, digest feelings on. Facts that will alter much of what she's encountered. But at the least, at the very least, there is no going back, and there is no guilt in that relief.
One Helena will be there, going through trials, fighting for the exit with the others she still cherishes in her heart. And one Helena will be here, and know a different world, a different freedom. Maybe somehow, the joys she find here will flow through that connection, letting the other know that she needn't give up.
The here-Helena knows as well, those she wants to keep close in the now, she'll be there for them without a second thought. To celebrate their happiness, to protect them when they need it as well, for no one is invulnerable. Not even SecUnit, for all its physical power, for it has a heart in need of shielding.
