There are some people that I don't want to have to do it. [he can probably guess who.] What I hope, right, is they'll leave the heavy shit to people like me.
[there's a little squiggly thought that's sort of like along the lines of not possessed, won't be your friends, it's fine.]
[ in a way, he agrees. if someone has to get their hands dirty, it may as well be those who've already trekked through the mud? but his emotions are obviously heavy as he thinks so.
by contrast, when he touches her elbow, it's very light. tentative. ]
I can't promise that everything will turn out just fine. I don't know exactly what fate has in store for us. ...But I do know that monster inside you is good and gone.
[ if they die, they die as themselves, and together, at least. ]
[she's not expecting the touch, but... it's nice! it makes her feel a little better.]
That is a relief.
[she can die as herself. she's okay with that. she doesn't want to, but she'd prefer that.]
I don't think I even need a promise that things will be okay. As long as I've got the ability to try, to hold my own fucking future in my own two hands, that's good enough. Even if I fuck it up.
