She heard the quiet comment, heard the tiredness in Raine's voice, but the woman's final words confused her.
"Why are you sorry?" She asked, "There was nothing you could have done without Bakura. I know the hatred he holds for me. That it didn't take you longer to convince him surprises me. That you even knew of the Shadow Realm...I am relived, but surprised nonetheless."
Solomon could have helped, but she would not mention him, not to Raine, not when the subject was so often a form of conflict between them. Besides, Solomon seeing her weakness would have been worse.
"And you are indeed lucky," she continued, "The Void uses your weaknesses to cut away at your soul...I do not know why it took so long with mine...It simply must have been enjoying its game."
There was no reason to tell her more. To tell Raine how she had sensed their arrival and tried to force the last of her energy into reinforcing what was left of the barrier. She would probably just receive a longer lecture if she did.
