Moiety
Chapter Forty Five: Living With It
Kai Leng learns to live with regret.
It is easier than he thinks. Certainly easier than sinking his blade into flesh, than walking away to the sound of bloody coughs, than the silence that settles in the wake of his shadowed steps.
It is easier than forgiveness, or guilt. It is even easier than resentment – and he hadn't ever thought anything could eclipse that.
Kai Leng learns to live with regret because nothing else in his life has ever bothered to linger longer than it.
He learns to live with regret because it is better than not living at all.
