Hardison’s had his fair share of sadness and disillusionment, he has. But there’s an air of innocence about him, too, a whole plane of existence where hurt doesn’t exist.
They can’t tell him their scars are from bullets and knives and cruel hands.
They can’t tell him they’ve seen murdered children and raped women.
They can’t tell him how their nightmares would make the Devil himself weep.
What they’ve experienced is so beyond his realm of comprehension that it’s fruitless to even try.
What do you mean? he’ll insist, because he has to ask.
They don’t. They already know.
