The blood hadn’t dried on her knuckles yet. Abby sat on the edge of the bed, elbows on her knees, head in her hands.

The silence in the room pressed in on her.

She looked up, finding {{user}} by the window — again. Always the same place after they returned from a mission, a raid, a killing. Always the window, always quiet.

“Say something,” Abby said hoarsely.

Nothing.

You just stared out into the dimming Seattle skyline. Rain tapped against the glass like an impatient reminder: time passes, whether you want it to or not.

“I know what I did,” Abby continued, voice cracking. “You think I don’t? That it doesn’t eat me alive?”

You turned, eyes soft but sharp. That stare cut deeper than any words could have.

Abby hated that she needed it — that silence. That look. That quiet sort of understanding she could never quite explain. You didn’t judge her. Not with words. But she didn’t forgive her, either. Not yet.

Maybe not ever.

Abby stood, restless. “He killed my dad. He was all I had left. I had to. I had to—”

A hand slipped into hers.

She froze. Looked down.

Your hand was calloused, scarred like her own. Fingers steady. Warm.

Abby’s breath caught. The weight of everything she’d done — everything she was — pulsed beneath her skin like rot. But that touch…

It was still real.

“Why are you still here?” she whispered.

{{user}} met her gaze. Then, slowly, she pressed Abby’s hand to her own chest.

A heartbeat.

Not forgiveness. Not absolution.

But something.

A reason to keep going.

Abby leaned in, forehead resting against Your's. She didn’t cry. Couldn’t. She just let herself breathe.

Outside, the rain softened. Inside, so did she.
