    Summary

    He watches her, closely, studying every little detail. Committing her to memory, scanning for any sympathy, any pity, any indication that there’s something else going on. He doesn’t find any, but he does notice something strange: two scars, ones that hadn’t been there when he left. They were on her neck, just missing any major arteries. They were thin, but deep, with tapered edges, like they had been done in a fit of rage, rather quickly.
