Nope. [...] A lot of people I've known, some of the people closest to me - they'd done shit like that. Killed people without wanting to, got pulled into something they couldn't stop. I don't think that made her any less worth caring about.
I can't imagine the pressure. I would've cracked. So I just wanted to, uh. To try and give her something. Anything. Like, just a little bit of happiness.
I think you did. I asked her about you, Thursday night after we were all sent back to our dorms. She didn't have any hesitation about your importance to her. I don't think there was a doubt in her mind about you two.
[well, there's just... a little bit of heartbreak on her face at that, but. it's okay.]
... I like her a lot. She's gentle, and kind, and patient. [all things that beau really needs.] I can't - do the optimism thing right now, I can't do the - we'll get them all back! Hero bullshit.

I will eventually, but I can't for right now.

Sometimes things just suck for a while.
