When Maxine arrives, just behind Clef, she doesn't know how to react at first-- it's a mixture of fear and hurt. And maybe a little bit of that guilt, too. She doesn't know that there's anything she could have possibly done, but she's a hero, so it comes anyway. Even after what happened to Bridge. No one deserves to die, after all.

"Oh..." the red head is stunned into silence, covering her mouth with one hand. When she finally does manage to speak, it's quiet and meek. She squeezes her eyes shut for a moment, to try to compose herself. All she manages to say is "I'm sorry."

She knows they're right though-- they don't have a lot of time. She just wishes it weren't like this.
