I know. It is going to take longer to heal than any physical injury.

[ she does know. they hate themselves, but cassian has more guilt and grief walled up inside him that it is a wonder it hasn't burst out before now. a good, solid defense mechanism that is finally cracking. ]

You know I would love to ignore all of this, but it's not tenable anymore. Especially if it keeps us from taking care of ourselves. [ she huffs out a breath like a sigh, shoulders slumping slightly because this is a problem she doesn't know how to fix and she doesn't want cassian to hurt anymore but she can't do anything about it and it sucks. but it's not about her, so she packs those feelings away like a hypocrite. ]

Just try.
