[Liquid might be bad at showing it, but he does sort of appreciate the gesture. Especially the fact that he hasn't actually touched him.

If he could have changed things, he probably wouldn't have had Miller killed. Hard to believe he actually appreciates him now.]

Nothing's ever bloody fair. I know that!

[That hollow sensation has been Liquid's default state for a while now, and it's not surprising to return to it. But it doesn't make it hurt any less.

He punches the wall again. Maybe it makes him feel better.]

I just thought maybe... maybe this time we could just go on with things. We could get ourselves home-- alive.
