[ the same question she'd once asked her father rests on the tip of her tongue. only the things they've still left unsaid hold her back.

how can you still love me after what i did?

blake's eyes clench shut, a sob escaping her throat. ]

You're incredible, Yang. If I hadn't met you, I... I can't imagine how my life would have turned out. [ the others too, yes, but... especially her. despite everything that's happened along the way, blake knows that they've both changed for the better, knowing each other. she had seen herself as poison once, befitting her name, but not anymore.

yang can't "fix" her, she knows that. they both know that, after some early efforts yang made went terribly wrong. yang can't pull her from the shadows, but she can be there while she does it for herself. she can catch her when she falls, and blake can do the same for her. maybe that's enough. ]

I think... I think I'll be okay talking about it. Since it's you.
