   Summary

   Two months ago Thomas was hurt at the village.

   Now, he found Anna crying and saw in her what he had seen in the mirror.

   Thomas wants to help Anna so she doesn't feel as alone as he did.

   Anna wants to learn more about what happened to Thomas, just so she doesn't have to think about herself.

   Tldr:
   They both want to help eachother and avoid thinking about themselves and what happened.
