She's okay, she's already said so and he doesn't want to keep bringing it up when they're both trying to move on. He just has to make it up to her in some other way and never shoot his powers at any of her personas.

Taking responsibility or something like that. He's not sure if this is the way, but he'll just go with it for now.]
