"I'm okay," Annie told her, almost automatically. And it was actually a lot more true now than it would have been last night, though she did also still amend, "Okayish."

She considered what she wanted to say for a second longer, and then just decided she was going to go ahead and hug Rey rather than try to elaborate for right now.

And hey, unlike last time, she probably wouldn't start crying. (Annie was genuinely unsure if she had enough water in her body still to produce that many tears, anyway. Like it seemed maybe physically impossible at this point.)
