ellie has none of the bite she had during their previous encounters. even compared to seconds ago, her enthusiasm had been bright, and now she just looks tired. as tired as abby feels.
does she get it now? how pointless it all is? abby can only hope. for her own sake, but for ellie's, too. it has to end somewhere. it's in their hands to stop this back and forth of violence, of an eye for an eye, all started by the acts of one man.
abby's let go of her anger, too, though hers was never quite as sharp as ellie's. it existed in a different shape. now it's dulled around the edges and she's letting it rust.
still, abby can't just trust her. she can't just assume it's over and ellie's done trying to make her pay. )
Are you giving me a head start for the thrill of hunting me down again?
