The shock of her presence was jarring but the sudden push of foreign emotions into his head sent him reeling. He was swept away by her horror at the thought of leaving him to his nightmares, the hatred directed at herself for not knowing that they were coming and a desperate hope that he had been able to escape. Images of a girl, running determinedly down a ramp, being forcibly restrained by two strong men, begging them to turn back, broke through the haze in his mind like sunlight through a winter storm.

WhY?

You did not deserve this fate.
