Overwhelming is right. But right now, as terrifying as all this is right now, Milly's mostly overwhelmed with relief. She really hadn't known Newt, only met him a few times at her dad's work, and she really hadn't expected him to be so…nice. So easy to communicate with. Newt's hand on her arm is a huge comfort, and it's only amplified by the light squeeze Raiden gives her -- a gesture that means a lot; she knows Raiden isn't really big on touching.
Milly's lower lip still quivers a little, but she looks terrifically relieved all the same. "Thank you," she manages in a small but earnest voice, and then with a quiet little sound she suddenly throws her arms around Newt to give him a rather crushing hug.
