[Jakku is a shithole, but Rey finds herself missing it sometimes. Or rather, she misses the painfully nostalgic time when she thought her parents might actually come back for her. Things had been so simple back then. Now everything is complicated in ways she doesn't fully comprehend.
It's enough to make her own smile fade away, particularly when she sees that her friend is lacking one. Awkward with emotions on a good day, she just reaches over to lightly touch at Aloy's shoulder. It's a stretch with how far apart they're standing, but she manages.
Even if they hardly know one another, Rey is here. They're not alone, no matter how far from home they may be.]
