"...Sorry. I'm. Freaking out. A bit. A lot. Not your fault, shouldn't be your problem, but here we are. I'm trying. Trying what I don't quite know."
She looks back up, steadier. Not even keeled, but steadier. "...My manners are gonna take a bit to come back. Not your fault there either. Not really anyone's."
