    Summary

    J had followed orders her whole life.

    This was the first she wanted to break so badly.

    Go back. Fix this. Don't stay for me.

    She wanted to say no. She wanted to keep that calloused hand in hers and stay until the end. She wanted to be selfish.

    But if she stayed, she would watch the last hope in those violet eyes die with her, watch that crooked smile fade, watch her give up on the future she had spent so long fighting for. J couldn't bear that.

    "Okay," she said. It was the worst word she had ever gotten out. She said it while holding on, and then she let go, finger by finger, and went.

    She left her in the ash with no future of her own, and that ash would be in her mouth for the rest of her life.
