You could live your life for thousands of years on Earth and have no solid answer.
[ There's something primal about survival, even if science yields it to biological breakdowns over time or shifts mental health into the equation. She was a doctor, one gifted with the desire to do good... but there was flexibility. Grey. Innocence in some light could yield to extinction, while a need to survive would muddle morals worse than a thin line in the sand. Which was the 'wrong' choice? What is right... sometimes it leads her away from missions. Is it right to abandon her comrades to save an innocent? Perspective, perhaps, was the difference. Silently, she brings her hand to rub gingerly at the side of her neck, almost empathetic with a strife that is not so clear. ]
I hope the world would see difference. It is not black and white, has not been for a very long time.
[ Was it wrong for him to have taken her when she did not accept? It happened so fast – and it still haunts part of her dreams. It haunts her reality at times. When she looks at him, she thinks of what was almost taken from both of them. He would not be here if he was guilty, she feels. She knows.
There's a caution though, even as he paces like a caged animal. She may not have noticed his gait before, noticed the way it feels as if he was following the lines of tiles leading around – but now she does. There was no glass separating them and many operatives in her division would deem it a risk for her to be in here with him.
But, this was not the first time she sat by him. Perhaps he'd catch the reflection in the blue of her eyes – one of a form he must accept. It would be foolish of her to think he was not testing her, to seize perhaps a moment that she lets her guard down. There was no pistol at her hip, no syringe lining her coat. She stands as she did without taking a step to him. If he wanted to, he'd come to her. Slowly. ]
I don't... understand. [ She does. He can sense the way her lies fumble past her lips. ] Tell me. Why do you linger here if you know you can leave?
[ She can't stop him – Overwatch can't stop him. ]
