It sounds like the kind of person the world needs more of. *tips head to the side, looking up at Tony* And now … you don’t let yourself trust at all? Everyone wants something of you, no one is simply good?
It is a rare situation when I trust someone fully without at least questioning their motives. Or myself.
And I think those closest to me can sense it.
Why would you question yourself? You don’t deserve good things anymore? Endless punishment, for a simple mistake?
Why not punish myself? I’m not the hero, I’ve been quite the opposite.
I just… I don’t know. Okay?
God I need another drink.
*closes her eyes and a tear slides down her face* So much pain. You just … /so/ much. Why so /much/? As if no good thing you ever did could be set against it. Such a terrible shadow.
You who saved us all … and this is how you repay yourself.
