    Summary

    “Why are you running?” She asks suddenly, and he halts, his back turned to her. “What are you running away from?”

     

    One of his hands comes up to support himself in the wall; he leans heavily against it. His entire body is lit up in infrared, screaming in agony. This is a man torn to shreds by a violent crash, body and mind; this is a man discarded by his people, a man who has failed those who trusted him, a man who has even failed himself.

     

    What, in truth, is he not running from? Wouldn’t anyone run, in his position?

     

    He doesn’t answer as he slips behind the door, and that’s a kind of running away, too.

    He’s smiling right now, red eyes like the blood his hands are covered in, blue skin like the sea his men are drowned in.

    “You are too unsure, Ensign,” he says, still smiling. “Far too unsure.”
