content warning: panic and game canon deaths and sadness galore for last five tags above and continuing on (SORRY)
[Kara's heart hurts when Faith says that. Some subconscious part of her locks it away for better times because right now, all she can think is how she doesn't deserve that. She's not the best person - she's not even a good person.
She looks up at Faith and scoots closer the second Faith reaches out to touch her, laying her head on Faith's shoulder. She shouldn't take this comfort, but she wants it.]
I'm sorry, I know... oh Rao, you've been through so much, and I just couldn't. I should have helped you, I should have been there. I'm too late for everything and everyone. I'm sorry.
[Jessica dying. Frank dying. Faith being strapped to a chair, trapped by her friends so that she couldn't be controlled by Kilgrave. The cuts and scars on her arms from the zip ties. All the posts in the network since then - Akira dying, Aaron dying, the native falling to her death on the trip. So much pain and death. She could have saved them all. She's fast, she's strong, and the panic claws inside of her, choking her.]
