    Summary

    “I lied,” Cora finally says, his voice stuttering and Law wonders what had he lied about, because at this point he knows all the lies – marine and spy and able to speak and all the other little fabrications of truth Cora has cast away during their three months together.

    “I know,” Law finally settles on answering because yes, Cora had lied and yes, he had known, but also if there was another lie, the boy would listen to it and forgive it as he had forgiven all else. It's nothing less than the man deserves.

    “I died.”

    “I know,” the admission is painful because Law had known, had known, had known, seven gunshots and who knew how many more from before, Vergo’s beatings and blood in that damned white snow, red on white like it had been in Flevance and there was no way for Cora to survive, not those extensive injuries, not even if the marines had found him in time and if they had he would not be here now, cramped on a too small bed, trembling in remorse, but rather sequestrated somewhere in a marine hospital on some island.
