Tears started to stream down Hope's face when Grant made her look into his eyes, the crying making it difficult for her to breath. She couldn't hold back the tears from the horrible events slowly flashing back to her while she listened to Grant. The fights and deaths during her training years; the people she scout with that she couldn't save; the terrified faces of the bystanders when she first shifted. When he finished talking Hope immediately buried her face in Grant's shirt, crying and screaming at the same time. She couldn't help herself.
	Hope had a tight grip on his shirt as she screamed into his chest, then the screaming slowly died down when she thought back to what he asked. She was choking on her words from all the crying and screaming, but she managed to get the three words out: [color=ed1c24]"I-I forgive y-you."[/color] The grip on his shirt was gone, but now Hope's arms were wrapped around him, tears still in her eyes. It was going to be hard for her to move on, the symbol on her cape and being left outside the walls reminding her about what she has done, but being with Grant... The thoughts felt like they were slipping away when he talked to her.
