The Future Without Hope
“Fallout FINN IS CROUCHING IN FRONT OF ME. I can see the specks of black, tarry infection on his shirt, and it seems absurd. I don’t know why he’s staring at me like that.
Finn has never looked at me like this. He’s glared, he’s cursed, he’s stared with amusement and disdain and mockery. But this—he has never stared at me with so much pity and grief.
"You killed him," I whisper. It's the first thing I've said since my brother died, and was put down before he could rise a second time. I shiver,... suddenly freezing, and Finn stands, grabbing a blanket and tossing it over my shoulders.
Then he crouches in front of me again.
"You know that's not true. I kept him from coming back. He wouldn't want to put you in danger—I wouldn't let him." "You killed him," I repeat, and there's anger in my voice this time.
Finn rocks back on his heels, studying me for a moment. "If you need to be pissed, be pissed. I won't stop you or take that from you, Nurrin." I crumple, and Finn catches me, holding me up as I sob.MoreLess
