[ Elena doesn't stop Misato as she walks away, and she doesn't try to get the last word in. There's no point to that. The other woman has said her piece and it's not exactly untrue. She will have to find some reason to live beyond just surviving, but that's going to take time. In the days, weeks, months between now and then, she'll continue clinging to the side of that cliff, taking one day at a time and making it through with the one thing she can't live without -- the people she cares about.
Taking a deep breath, once, twice, she does her best to settle herself before starting forward as well. She needs to keep her mind on the present; there's a race to win. ]
