Being back in Fandom was a peculiar… sort of disconnect.

Ino was curled up on hers and Zack’s pushed together beds and pretending to read. Which was rather futile because she knew it was pretence and so it would have been more productive to actually do something…

But she didn’t really feel like it. There were a lot of things she had to think on, but those thoughts felt almost like she was clinging to broken glass in her hands, and that hurt.

Like a toothache, however, she couldn’t quite stop poking at them. Even when doing so only hurt things more.

And, turn the page. Keeping up appearances, even just to herself, was important.

She was supposed to be reading. Would claim to be reading.

But her gaze wasn't on the book.

"He's brave."

Romeo would have cried. But Romeo wasn't any kind of soldier, in capitals or out of it.

Romeo felt like she was right -- but at the same time, it wasn't a situation that would be helped by his judgment. He hadn't been there, and he barely knew Zack.

"I doubt he blames you for what you did," he hazarded, sounding as uncertain as he felt. "Have you talked to him about it?"

Romeo drew his legs into himself and wrapped his arms around them, suddenly feeling cold.

"So there's no way to change it," he said, because the way she was talking was like she had given up. Like they both had.

"But how much time do you have to make things right?" Romeo asked, obviously failing to understand her reasoning. "You can breathe later."

"Oh." Romeo went quiet. He knew a year or two could be a lifetime. "If there's ever anything we can do, even if it's just letting you visit, let me know."

"That's all I can ask," Romeo said -- and, really, he all but felt it was asking too much. "I'll talk to you again soon."
