    Summary

    "The pragmatic side of him instilled by years of survival is telling him that he needs to rest while he has the chance. It's a better way to pretend, he supposes. To pretend that he's not listening to each and every breath she takes, every shift of her body against the floor, every breath that's halfway between a sigh and a gasp as her mind registers the pain even through the deep of unconsciousness.

    He pretends that each one of those sounds whispered into the silence, evaporating into the ship's ambient hum, doesn't drive the star-hot points of guilt deeper into his chest."
