That much becomes abundantly clear just after a few seconds of listening to her. Beth is dying, and there's nothing Beth can do about it - there sure as hell isn't anything that Nill can do about it. There's no way to save her.
Tears well up in Nill's eyes as she lifts a hand to her mouth, sinking down to sit on the ground and lean back against the wall she was holding on to earlier. If she's with one right now she's forgotten about it, too overwhelmed by the sudden enormity of Beth's agony.
Nill shuts her eyes, and reaches out slowly and carefully, picking the pain apart. She lifts Beth's awareness of it, her ability to perceive it, the little firings of nerve endings. It won't get rid of it completely, because doing that would leave her totally unaware of her body, and that might just scare her. But it will be much easier for her to bare.
