What else can he say? It's horrific. Beyond what he could have imagined when she first mentioned being trapped aboard that ship for a full year. Gaeta's seen enough magic since he arrived on Marrow Isle that he doesn't waste time with questions he might have asked six months ago: how is that possible, that sounds like a fairy tale, you can't mean you were literally fuel.
And to be told at every turn that something so awful was normal, preferable, the right choice, the only choice --
"Tayrey, I'm so sorry. That's..." He doesn't have to fumble for words anymore; his voice firms. "They were wrong. That's intolerable. You did the right thing, sending out that distress call. And they shouldn't have turned on you because of it."
