[ That is super what their deal was in her opinion because she never said that she was going to get another Sentinel, never said that she was going to ask for any help. She wouldn't want to. In some respects having someone other than him around right now would be the opposite of helpful, even. So she thinks she's abiding by their agreement perfectly well.
Except she's not - she won't go back to him unless she's sure she can shove everything far enough down that she can help him. How she shoves it down doesn't matter to her, if she can just bury if she can finish dealing with it some other time, delay the problem, but she's having trouble even managing just walling it up right now. Her eyes may be open, but it's pretty clear that she's not really receiving any input from them or much of anything right now, stuck fairly firmly in her own head and the slow, slow drag back out.
She just needs to fix this a little and then she can find Tony and it will be okay. Things are okay with him around. ]
