pretending like someone else's opinion doesn't matter -- never matters -- is what got her into this mess. ignoring tony's, now, will only dig her deeper. but it's ages later that she makes an attempt to eat crow.
and she doesn't do it by video, but by text. ]
I never wanted you to have that conversation for me. Never. Tony -- what happened, in the end? Did you make your peace with your shadow? Did you try to kill it?
[ him. ]
Mister Hunter was with me when mine ambushed us. That's all this was about. You can understand, I hope, why I don't much want to discuss it.
[ it's...so close to an apology. so bloody close. ]
