[ the thing is lowe had no idea they were giving me ace's worst nightmare scenario when they did this, but also that ace would be able to hold it better if his brain wasn't fucking soup right now. he is vaguely aware he is being really embarrassing about something that did not happen, but every time he sees nimona injured he keeps being worried it did. not that he'll tell her that, because he doesn't want her to go either.
he's staring at her hands and ignoring the memory. he knows that letter by heart. he's read it over and over and over again, and then he got sabo's signature tattooed on his arm. he doesn't need the replay. ]
... I couldn't do anything, and he died. [ which brother? both. but only one was for real. ] And you got maimed, and Hung died, and-- they gave me his stupid hat-- but I couldn't have left him. I kept trying to think of a way around it but I just made everything worse.
