Althea was honestly glad for the question, even if she wasn't sure what to ask, and turned to face the person coming over with an apologetic smile.

"I.. think I'm just really overwhelmed, sorry."

Not that it really made sense for her to be apologizing in general, let alone for being overwhelmed, but she also didn't want to tell someone who took the time to ask after someone else that they couldn't. It felt mean, somehow.

"It's like... I mean it's just a library, right? But I have a feeling that if I go to look up what's on my mind, I won't find anything, or I'll find... just too much, and I'm not sure what's worse? Sorry, it's a lot right now."
