Valdis looked down and took a deep breath, it was all so depressing. He didn't seem to realize that he was no longer human. Not a monster, but not human. He would likely outlive his friends and family, though by how long, she couldn't know. With whatever that thing was, it was possible that Miles was now like her, and she didn't mind that.

The realization caused her to quickly withdraw, both physically and emotionally. Valdis let go of his hands and refused to make eye contact for several breaths.

"You make sense," she replied quietly, "I'm just tired. It's getting late."
