( Clementine swallows thickly, lifting her head to meet Michonne's gaze. So many people, they couldn't. It's why Clementine was the adult- She was the peacekeeper in a group of adults losing it, crumbling, unable to find their grip again.
It's different in Wonderland. People have more freedom. There's less constant danger. It's still good to hear Michonne wants to pull herself together again if only because Michonne deserves to. She deserves to get to live here, and Clementine will just hope like hell no one else leaves she cares about.
She moves forward, winding her arms around her and then nodding against her. )
I'll probably always worry.
( She swallows thickly past a lump building in her throat. A coldness settles into her bones but a warmth does too. )
[ Sometimes you say things to simply try to help with platitudes, but that doesn't mean they aren't true. Michonne would do anything to take away the burdens on Clementine's mine. But they'll always both mutually care so damn much.
Her arms wrap tighter around Clem, just holding her, stroking her hair. It's all she can do, and she'll do it as long as she'll allow it. ]

[ She pulls back, just so she can see Clementine's face better. ]
I got a reason to want to pull myself together. You. So you don't have to worry. Not after today.
[ She's officially done, and she's going to get herself back into shape. Clementine does a lot for her want to be okay again. ]
