HUERTA’S ACHES WITH THE POUR - IN from the war – reality , exposed raw like a nerve beneath the silver light . much of the citadel lays silent , unharmed by the fighting far beyond its starry , silent borders . down the hall , a man screams , and she flinches in useless sympathy . beside her , the – assassin , shepard’s assassin . krios , who knows too much and sees far more . she shifts away , only an inch , and her ribs squeeze in protest . ❝ so , uhh – how’s physical therapy going for you ? i mean , is it helping ? ❞ a harmless topic , but one that seems ridiculous , a normalcy of contradictions . assassin , soldier , and she’s questioning him on how his doctor’s appointment went .
. . . BUT ACCEPTING IT, EMBRACING IT, can be the difference between success & sitting at home in your pjs taking red sand.
