She didn't know what John was playing at, but she didn't believe his apology for a second.

He had called back a few minutes after hanging up on her. He was sorry, apparently, for his rather callous attitude of late. He was tired, he hadn't been sleeping well and then with all of this he just... He didn't know anymore. Kayo wanted to believe him, she did, something deep down said that he was hurting badly and confused and she needed* to help him, but the rest of her was screaming this wasn't right.

She stood on the platform for the elevator waiting for him, she couldn't help herself. She was alone, pushed aside by everyone else so caught up in their own grief, and she didn't blame them if she was honest, but John had always been there for her and she wanted him there now. To assure her that she did matter, that she was a part of this family, so here she stood, chewing on her thumbnail while her better sense of judgment screamed at her.

The module anchored in place and he stepped out, smiling at her. The simple greeting pushed aside her fears as she stepped forward. he slipped long arms around her and held her tightly. She was screaming at herself, everything she had learnt in her life told her no, this was a mistake, but she didn't care as she returned the embrace because right then, this was her John. This was who she needed.
