Author's Notes: ehhh. Just something that hit me on the 4th or 5th rewatch.
I watched from the door of the hangar as she hunched over Roy's body, crying. His blood stained her hands. Her mother's stained his. I knew she was broken.
Now I lean over her body, crying. Her blood stains my hands. She's broken again and I don't know if I can fix her this time. I wonder who sees me hunched over her body. I don't really care but my mind registers the symmetry anyway; the position of her body over his, my body over hers…the panic, the grief. I hope the symmetry stops there. I can't do this again.
Brief, but I had to get it out. I find the end of Knockout just heartwrenching and very poignant.
