   Summary

   “Frank?”
   Karen’s voice sounded exactly like he remembered it. Like he’d hallucinated it earlier today. Warm and soft like honey, sweetness dripping from her lips. Familiar in a way that painfully reminded him of coming home.

   Frank Castle leaves the graveyard and returns to one of his previous hideouts — only for an unexpected reunion to take place.
   (Missing scene between the second graveyard scene and the ending of The Punisher: One Last Kill. Set after Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.)
