"There isn't," Alana says gently. "What happened to Amy isn't something we can change." Abby knows that bone deep. Alana can practically hear, almost feel, the pain of it radiating off of her. She carries herself well through it, but there are tell tale signs, especially when she's this vulnerable. Alana's just not altogether certain Abby has accepted the truth of it. Wishing doesn't change anything, but it doesn't stop anyone from wishing again.

"And we can't change what you did or didn't do," she continues. "I'm sure it's small comfort, but it's normal, Abby. When something awful happens, it's normal for people to shut down. To not know what to do. We're not always equipped to handle it. You were eight. You shouldn't have needed to be prepared for that."
