[Her hair is in two messy twin braids. Her eyes are glassy. The sharp-eyed might notice she's probably, definitely drunk. The less-so might just assume she's overly tired. Her tongue presses into her cheek as she considers how to start this one, but in the end she just rips the bandaid off quickly: ]
So, tell me, how is it that you handle grief?
[She probably won't be elaborating on why she's asking, unless she has a certain level of familiarity with you, but you can try. People closest to her probably already know what this is really about: Her sister is gone. From Moorecroft. From Etraya. From the top side of the dirt. Gone and back to dead, and Yelena is spiraling.]

Maybe it should be 'how many times do I get to see my sister again' instead. [He bites his lip, trying to articulate himself and feeling way out of his element.] It hurts to keep losing someone — I can't... understand how it feels to lose the same person over and over, but I definitely know what it's like to lose parent after parent. I mean, being an orphan twice over... really sucks. I lost someone before I came to Etraya, and it hasn't stopped hurting for even a day since I woke up here.
[Ha. Haha.
Wait, has he told anyone May passed away? Does it even matter?
He clears his throat.]
But maybe I'll see them again here. And maybe... maybe Natasha will pop back up again. And we'll both get that little bit more time we couldn't have gotten before. And that's gotta matter for something, right? To be able to experience something so impossible?

[Orphaned, twice over? That is terrible in a way Yelena can't quite appreciate- she was too young to remember her biological family. And the only people she ever knew as her parents were still alive and... maybe not well. None of them really are, are they?] But you have also not let it consume you. How do you... keep from just sinking into all of that pain?
I don't think I am very good at the, ah- silver lining outlook. Life has been such a dark and terrible thing for so long, it is just... very difficult to see the bright parts, I think.
Re: Voice.
[But it's hard. It's really, really hard. Peter will always be an optimist, even with all of the crap hurdled his way — but it doesn't mean he can't fall into that kind of mindset, too. It's easy to know there's good things, but still suffer while waiting for those good things. Breathing in deep, a hush falls over the line.]
My aunt, she's — she was my guardian.
But she passed away. Recently. Um. Not long before I came here.
I know what she'd want, and I'm trying my best for her, but it's still tough.
