Oddly enough, despite the vague temptation to leap, Sybil found herself forcible springing backward when a voice suddenly called from behind her, giving the mousy girl a good spook and sending her heart racing a thousand miles an hour. She tossed a look over her shoulder—still not completely backing away from the cliff edge or even turning around—and blankly stared at the stranger behind her, mind whirling from shock and still not completely certain what just happened or who was even talking to her.
The voice sounded feminine, and the face was of narrow, foreign shape and lovely russet-and-white coloring. Wide dark amber eyes stared at her, alight with shock and wariness... and it took Sybil a good few moments to realize why.
Because it probably looked like, to this complete stranger that didn't know a single thing about her other than she'd practically be dangling off the edge of this bluff, that she'd actually been about to jump.
She blinked, still uncertain of how to process what was going on or especially why this stranger would even care on account of having been so caught off guard. She'd been rather deep in thought mere seconds before, imagining all of the things that could happen if she jumped and philosophically debating why she would even have such an urge, and being so suddenly interrupted was like having a spear jabbed into her mind—she couldn't think.
"Just... existing??" Was the best answer she could give.
