It's probably just as well that Aziraphale refrains from anything as intimate as a hug. She already feels like a complete mess - in general, but especially in comparison - and there is nothing he can do that won't be more than she deserves. It would be… easier to bear... if he just maintained a professional distance. Bo's evil nearly broke her; it would be a shame if the angel's kindness finished the job.
Helping her stand falls within that professional purview, right? Sunshine presses her lips together in a firm, sob-repressing line, then slowly gets to her feet. Her whole body aches in protest - how long was she curled up on the floor? - but she manages.
"Okay," she says, a bit unsteadily. This is… doable.
