[An icy cold drops into Yang's stomach like a stone at Allura's revelation. It was bad enough learning about Salem and her single-minded desire to spite everything and everyone. It was bad enough finding out that Remnant's own Gods had wiped humanity off the planet once already and were poised to do it again if they were summoned and displeased with what they found. But it's a new sort of terrifying to think that something she has 100% no awareness of, that's so completely removed from her own world that nobody knows anything about it, could almost destroy it. Could destroy everything.
There's a scope here that she can't quite fathom, isn't even sure that she wants to try to fully understand. But it rocks her to her core, what Allura's sacrifice really entailed.
In an instant, she has Allura wrapped back up in the tightest hug imaginable.]
You're amazing.
[Her mind's still a bit of a jumble right now and that's the first coherent phrase that manages to break through. There's so much sadness wrapped up in what Allura's told her but there's also so much gratitude and awe at her heroism that it feels wrong not to acknowledge it.]
[She gives a soft laugh... She wishes she could take all the credit, but... Honerva made that sacrifice too, to fix the damage she did. Neither of them could have done it alone, unfortunately... But that's part of why Allura is quiet about that part. Honerva is still in the city, from long before going down that particular path. Those last few battles cured her of her wounds and the bitterness they left, and she forgives Zarkon and Honerva now, but she's not sure the others would.
For now, though, she just hugs Yang tighter.]
So are you. You are worth it, Yang.
[And she means it with all her heart. Even if she didn't remember it, Yang, Coran, Romelle, every single life she's encountered, past and present, her world or this one, was more than worth it.]

God I'm so sorry...
