[ There's just helplessness as Bolin watches the girl slip, and for a horrifying moment, he realises that he has to choose between letting her fall alone and sending them both after her. His heart stops, and he knows that he has no choice but to let go—
But he does't, because in an instant she's flying back up towards them and Kija's giant hand is enveloping her. She's safe.
This time, Bolin almost lets go out of relief. ]
Sakura, Sakura, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
[ He'd let go. He hadn't been able to hold on, and she'd fallen, and his heart is pounding with the realisation that he'd almost let her die.
(And like the big baby that he is, it makes him want to cry.)
He doesn't, and instead reaches for her again, still with the injured arm but much higher on adrenaline. ]
