Tom. 100 words. Episode 2x09. Not my characters.
He does not know why Mariela's death disturbs him so much. She is not the first person whom he has seen die; probably she will not be the last.
There was an innocence about her that struck Tom from the first meeting. She seemed younger than she really was, more girl than woman, and he couldn't help but want to protect her.
He will never forget the last minutes of her life, how fragile and small she was in his arms. And though he will always regret that she is dead, he envies that she, at least, has found peace.
