and so my heart became a void.

heading towards the front door, Nora stops as he asks where the restroom was, she offers him a small smile and then points to the hallway just a little offset from the front desk, "It's just right down that hall... two doors down and on the left...I'll uh — just be right out side." figures some fresh air would do her some good, but her nerves still felt shot, though not as bad as it had been moments ago. she feels her phone vibrate in her pocket as she steps out, most likely her dad replying.

[ sure — I'll be a minute though, just put the break sign up on the door, I'll take it down when I get there. ]

she gives the text a thumbs up reaction and then stuffs her phone back in her pocket, taking a slow deep breath as she turns around and steps back inside to put up the 'we're on a break. someone will be with you soon.' sign on the door. she still felt slightly guilty hiding things from him, but she'd talk to him about it later — and Logan.

" thank you. shall we ? " you motion for a walk before shoving your hands into your pockets. you can never get warm enough.

why‘d you wait until today to say something? it’s a bit late, isn’t it…

i never faulted you for wanting to believe.

we’re the only ones left. you don’t get to die.

i didn’t take you for a coward.

fuck the mission!

there was a time when thirty was young, you know…

been a long time since i’ve seen you play.

you seem to know me.

the more information we get, the more questions i have.

i haven’t seen a human in so long!

we are but a fragile dream, a singular weed, resisting, ever resisting.

i wish we could have spent more time in … less hopeless contexts.

legacy can take many forms, right? you taught me that.

when you’re at the mercy of a power you don’t understand, you might try anything.

this is a kindness, not a cruelty.

you only care when things are right in front of you.

stay out of this. you chose to walk away. you don’t get to involve yourself now.

i‘m not gonna get much sleep tonight, am i?

i‘m really sorry i didn’t arrive sooner.

see you… in the next life.

did i die again?

what are the stars whispering to you?

you know, it meant a lot to me. the comfort we shared that day.

i use the pain. i use the shame, the guilt, the anger. i use it all to keep going.

i can almost feel them beside me. everyone we’ve lost… walking with me.

how do you always know what to do…

i‘m not fine.

how many times must you hurt our family…

family is not my favourite topic.

because it’s personal and it’s painful. and it’s none of your business.

i love the way you see the world.

you’re always so calm about everything.

death is a friend who will welcome me home.

masks are not just to obscure. they are also to illuminate.

are you planning to die anytime soon?

i want rage to consume me, anything to fill the hollow. but rage won’t come. i just float in an endless nothingness…

you lost me years ago. and I lost you.

family is … complicated.

if saving you means losing you, then so be it.

remember who your real family is.

you’re too drunk on your own illusion to understand.

at least this will keep you out of trouble until i get back.

they’re counting on me. i won’t abandon them.

i refuse to abandon you.

which is worse? to die, or to be the one who survives? to grieve? or to be grieved?

even when i sleep, it’s still there. like a breath i can never release.

you didn’t give me a chance to say goodbye.

life keeps forcing cruel choices.

grief often blinds us. until we make choices we can never take back.

you can hate me, but that’s a choice i must make.

you treat me as if i‘m still five…

i‘ll keep the light on for you.

see things as they are, not how you want them to be.

this is not worth your life.

@allthcpain  : what, are you gonna narc? ( from Dani )

"WHO, ME?"  IT'S LAUGHABLE,   really. The man must not have heard of the 4077th's most decorated delinquent. Works well for him, though, makes it all the more fascinating to watch in pride as the other ascends the gradual dismay of knowing Hawkeye Pierce. 

The smile is unmistakeable  :   a little boy eager to rebel, though he's well within the worn features of a man who's been through grime and grit. It should tell Dani all he needs to know, in that moment, yet Hawkeye still opts to further it with his perpetually resounding voice.   "Only if you narc on me first. Otherwise, mommy doesn't have to know."   He gives a wink, palms settled over chest as his posture worsens with a lean.  Blues gesture to the package at the edge of the swamp - unauthorized, as far as any could surmise, but it's a simple mass of prime-grade steaks.   "I'll show you mine if you show me yours."  He suggests. "Get me in on whatever stunt you've got on the back-burner and I'll grill you one of these better than a five-star chef hoping to get a better look at a pretty blonde."

the newly transferred captain merely stares at his new roommate with an uncertainty and distrust, brown eyes narrowed ever so slightly. he lets the other captain continue to act like a child, even looking the man down and then up to asses the situation. he's crazy. he must be, he thinks to himself. then again, who would want to be stuck in a war ?

dani decides that hawkeye was no threat, and instead just ... annoying. " hijole ... " he finally mutters as hawkeye finishes. " keep it down, would you ? might as well narc to mommy and daddy if you're going to be this loud. " and boy, was the tall man loud. dani's head swivels from side to side to make sure no one was coming or near before he grabs a knife from his pocket and opens the box and pulls out exactly that — a prime grade steak.

she knew her mom meant well, but one of the things that came along with her abilities, was that she could also sense when someone was around, and it echoed the feeling of an anxiety attack that was simmering just beneath the surface — not exactly the most pleasant feeling... 'mom, I love you, but can you step back some, please?' the words are spoken only in her head, never really sure if they actually could hear thoughts, but according to her dad, they could.

[ running to the store to get something for lunch, be back soon. keep an eye on the front for me? ]

she sends the text quickly, not exactly lying to her father, but also omitting some of the truth, the store was about 5 minutes away in a car — so it only a little bit longer on foot.

“Before I did ‘Rogue One’, I thought, okay, my life is gonna change. And my life is the same, but it changed me. My life is the same, but now I’m different. I see my life from a different perspective, because I witnessed this. Because I was part of this.”
