We Can't Undo The Damage Anymore [But We Can Fix It]

V has a hard time dealing with the fact that she almost failed to protect N from Cyn, had Uzi not been there with him. This leads to her spiraling, completely overthinking her own capabilities, and going paranoid over Uzi's tail [Cyn] being anywhere near N on his own. Constantly on edge and tense, her behavior starts to concern N; he appreciates how V's beginning to care about him again, but he doesn't want her to worry herself to death. Luckily, he's willing to do anything to help her get past her trauma a second time. And N's determined to get to the bottom of V's sudden breakdown after the fight.
