X's eyes are closed, but she can hear perfectly well. Only her semi-permanent lack of expression keeps her from wincing.
(Sorry, Meg.)
Bruce singing is very strange -- moreso than any of the others -- but if it helps, it helps.
She hears the quiet sounds as he pulls the wire from his belt. She
also
hears the tree, even if she cannot see it.
But if X is possessed of one thing, it is the determination that
she
decides what she does, not anyone else. Not any
thing
else.
And what she has decided to do is protect her friends. All of them.
"Yes." Her response is clipped, even as she reaches out to take the wire from Bruce, fingers brushing against his as she does so.
"But I do not know if I will be able to be careful. If people struggle."
Then she goes to corral Scorpius and Parker. Aside from the singing, they seem to be in the most danger.
It helps that she can hear their heartbeats, even over all the singing.
All
the singing.
