[It's an easy ask only because it's Peter. She follows his advice mechanically: deep breath in, hold, and release slowly. It's all she can do. This is new territory for her. Gamora doesn't panic on her own. Mantis never used that ability on her after that incident. In all fairness, she hasn't been truly free from Thanos since the fateful day they met. Gamora always knew she was on borrowed time. Thanos was always going to find her.
(No, she won't ever let herself believe the lie he tried to spin about letting her go. She knew him too well. He never let anything he deemed his free.)
It's hard to accept he isn't coming to terrorize her and her loved ones again. She's not focusing on how this reality is more impossible than showing up alive in Asgard to begin with. Gamora is focusing on breathing and listening to Peter. It helps to hear about her family. She closes her eyes to picture it for herself. She smiles because to Gamora that sounds perfect. She wants nothing more than to be there with their beautiful family. In this moment she misses them so much that it physically hurts.
Her eyes flutter open at the mention of Nebula. Her breathing is more even now as she takes in that her sister is alive and with family. She managed to do that much right.]
Are you sure he's dead? It's not like before. You're sure? [Her gaze is desperate, but resigned. Gamora will believe him even if that little girl will always find it impossible to believe her monster is dead and gone. She doesn't just love Peter more than anything. Gamora trusts him that much too.]
