[ The snap of a twig had Yuri's eyes widening and she pulled back from Battler as much as possible. She didn't hit Battler, she didn't push him away. No, she stood there for a few moments feeling like a doe caught in headlights. It felt like an eternity.
Hurting someone like this... that was something Yuri hadn't done before. Telling someone they've got no chance in hell and that they should give up was easy. Telling someone that she was unreachable was easy. She'd thought it had been true. What she had told Steve was what she had wanted to be true. Now he had to know that she lied. Battler had gotten in, had gotten past everything and managed to find her in that dark corner of aloneness that she had buried herself in. She'd told him that the lock to that place was broken but had really just given the key to someone else.
For once, Yuri was at a loss of what to do. Speechless, Yuri turned her eyes away for a moment, looking down, but after a deep breath had passed her lips looked up at Steve again. She still hadn't pushed Battler away. ]

I'm sorry.
