( his question goes unanswered for a time, the small circle that she'd been tracing on his hand become more massaging. he can't feel it, though just maybe it could help, but she's also not really thinking about it, fingers working as ana thinks.
it felt hopeless as if the battle between two friends would never end. gabriel had gone so far, and for all ana felt that she should be angry she wasn't. just sad. disappointed. jack wasn't the only one that missed him, but this was where ana had kept her own feelings quieter. it was a difficult line between them, and it had been there for years before everything had collapsed. and that made her guilty, one small doubt in her mind wondering what would have happened if she'd stayed. overwatch would have still burned, but would they have been saved?
she missed him -- missed them. it was hard not to think of what things had been, especially over the last three days. jack had been gone, leaving her and gabriel, but he was so far out of reach. and yet now, when she should be angry-- )
إن غدا لناظره قريب. ( the words were quieter, and the circles stop, fingers moving to take hold of his wrist, to pull his attention ) I'm not giving up.
( it would hurt more, but after all of this time just letting him go was too difficult. she couldn't quit, not when that friendship had been so much. and gabriel wasn't right. he thought that they'd given up, and ana refused to start now )
