Cole had traits of Birkoff and Walter in different moments, and yeah, maybe she shouldn't compare one friend to another, but she missed both those guys. She'd love to see them again. Why couldn't her future have showed her something involving them rather than what she'd seen? It would have to be another Section future since they were just as trapped as she had been, as she would be if she ever went back or Section ever arrived here. It would be worth it to see them again, though.

"Yeah, yeah," she rolled her eyes, and she did feel a little better now. It was probably the combination of the human contact and the determined understanding that Cole was showing. Of course, that only went so far and she was pretty sure it'd change if he knew more about Section and what she'd done for them, but it was nice while it lasted.
