( it takes the words she's saying a few long moments to process. he doesn't pull away from her but tension continues to thrum through him, making him stiff and uncomfortable.
but her words, at least, permeate his anger and rage and fear. he'd told her once he hadn't really been afraid since he was five but here he was now, trying to shy away from what was happening. )
I tried to forget you. ( he knows how that sounds but it's the truth. he had to put it all inside a box just to deal with everything else. ) I tried to forget you and this place.
( convince himself it was a dream and move on. go back to his fucking life and be who he was before this fucking place.
he shakes his head but not so hard that he'd dislodge her hands. )
I still know who you are. ( he remembered. he remembers. he's different but it hasn't been so long that he'd managed to fully phase this place out. ) But you don't have to do this. It's not...it's my problem.
