It doesn't go away, Glimmer says, but I think we get better at handling it.
It feels like something they've said before. Both of them, or either of them. About loss, about hurting. About the first time they killed someone. About grieving.
But Glimmer's words touch something, a realization that leaves something strange in her chest. She had stopped. Abby had stopped her, and she'd let her. They'd bandaged each other up, and still...
"I trust her," she says suddenly, and plainly. It rings out in the room like a confession.
And that's the heart of this. All of this. Ellie trusts her. And Abby trusted her back. And now she doesn't.
