Wanda wasn’t one much inclined towards optimism, though she’d often played the role to balance out her brother when it was needed. The cheery hope felt forced, and pretending to believe in a goal that was unrealistic had always seemed foolhardy. That’s why she’d disagreed with the plan to go through the rift. Deluding themselves into believing that could solve anything was so very American an approach to the situation, but they hadn’t listened to her.
With a soft sigh, she turned to the woman who she’d seen wishing goodbyes to the man Maria took through the rift. She knew how it felt to lose someone, to know you would never see them again, and she wanted the woman to know that she wasn’t alone. “It is never easy, you know. To lose someone like this.” She hesitated, a nervous hand running through her long hair, brown again now that the red color had disappeared along with her powers. At least she’d gotten to bury her brother when he died, to have that moment of closure. She’d gotten none of that with Vision, but the situation was still different. She’d seen both of their bodies. She’d had that finality. The woman in front of her would probably wonder about it for the rest of her life.
“I hope that one day you find the closure you need. So you do not have to wonder.” It was a small comfort, barely enough to make much of a difference probably, to know that her friend had volunteered for this himself. “I guess what I’m trying to say is...I am sorry.”
