Chapter Text
The cell to which they had been thrown was dark and cold. A technological barrier prevented them from leaving and their only means of entertainment was to look through a window at the stars in space, shattered planets, ships, and from time to time, Etheria. They both wondered what was happening out there.
Catra was sitting hugging her legs, and Glimmer placed both her legs in only one direction and supported herself with one of her hands. And both were turning their backs.
None had dared to talk to each other until now. And although they disliked, even if they could not stand, they had nothing else to do. And both had many doubts about each other. Glimmer was the first to speak.
"Hears..."
"What?" Catra asked in a rather calm tone. Her eyes were focused on immersing himself in her thoughts, and not even her tail or ears moved.
"I wanted to ask about something." Glimmer admitted with some shyness.
"Do it."
"Why did you save me?"
Catra was silent for a few minutes, and Glimmer waiting for the answer. The hairy Queen caressed her cloak of doubt.
Catra inhaled and exhaled heavily through her mouth, and supported one of her arms on one of her legs, while the other threw herself and looked at Glimmer with narrowed eyes, as if it were an obvious answer.
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Glimmer recalled Catra's request before the Heart was activated and both ended up in the Horde Prime ship. She asked her to kill her. And for a moment, Glimmer felt mixed feelings with her.
But she didn't have to admit it in front of her. She frowned in shame and his cheeks turned crimson.
"Fair point."
She turned her eyes again, and they both stared at the stars from the purple window, the only thing that illuminated the dark room.
