There isn't - but I see now you don't pay attention to anything that doesn't blatantly exist in front of your nose. How expendable people are to you if they don't place their achievements or struggles on a banner.

[she knows kara isn't easy to get along with - she knows that he even goes out of his way to keep his relationships as shallow as he can make them. but it's never infringed on his ability to work, or how much he'd be willing to do for others.]

Apologize to him. He deserves to hear it more than I do.

You know what you've done - I hope it hangs over your head with every other pitiful choice you make. I'll work with you to the end of this if I must, but I will never forget what you've taken from him and me.

I didn't think he'd want to hear it.... but I will.

As long as you're still willing to work with this group as a whole. That's the most important thing, even though it's a lot to ask -- and we've wronged you, both.

Do you think me so pitiful that I'd ruin our chances at the end just because of this? You truly know nothing about the people around you, no matter what cryptic comments you make to seem mysterious.

[she scowls.]

I hate every single one of you that voted for him, and I hope you are all crushed by the guilt of what you've done.

But there is an entire other side, multiple worlds worth of people I need to save. Their lives have always taken precedent over whatever suffering we're forced to endure.

[she's vicious, and she's angry, and she's also so heartbroken it hurts to breathe -

but by god will she strive to be better than every single person who decided to be a coward today.]

I didn't, no. But it's nice to have the confirmation, anyway. And it is a lot to ask, coming from me. I realize that.

[ he smiles, a little. less cryptic... more sad. ]

And... thank you.

[i desperately wish she cared - and maybe some part of her heart distantly aches, because lili never did anything to stop how it bleeds.

but it's drowned out so thoroughly by her anger.]

Do not thank me. None of what I have to offer is for you any longer. You have neither my trust nor my ear.

I have no room in my life for cowards.

[ it's about what he expected. she deserved to know, he thinks. no matter what the outcome. as long as she keeps moving forward -- as long as this doesn't break her. it's fine if it breaks him a little. he made his choices, after all. and he's already been broken for a long time. ]

Oh, I've never wanted anything for myself -- and I'm not thanking you on my own behalf, either. It's for them. Always has been.

Is there something I can do for you now, other than get out of your sight?

[ if not, he'll be leaving... slowly ]

[if she breaks, she won't let anyone who's wronged her get the satisfaction of seeing it.

that's all it is.]

No. Leave.

And don't approach me again unless it's to discuss how to end all this.

Understood.

[ off he hobbles..... ]
