Hearing Berlin's words caused tears to flow from Alicia's eyes. She had been wondering if she had done the right thing. Now hearing these words of comfort from Berlin, saying that she was not at fault caused Alicia to finally let out her grievances. She buried her head into Berlin's stomach as she let her tears rain down.
Berlin patted Alicia's back letting her cry as much as she wanted. For him to see her cry like this showed that she was still just a little girl. Although Berlin wanted Alicia to be strong he did not want her to be someone without emotions. Emotions were a very important aspect of being alive. If she did not have these emotions she would be nothing more than a human puppet. This was something Berlin would never want Alicia to ever be.
