( Clementine hears him moving, and her heart jumps up in her throat. It's panic. She recognizes that feeling. She's convinced that she will be his downfall, that she will watch him die, that-
She remembers trying to save Sarah. She remembers watching Carver toss a man without an arm off a roof. She remembers Omid being shot, Lee before she pulled the trigger, Luke pushing her away in time as he-- He's looking for her. He's going to spend the whole fucking Event- And it's going to kill him. She is This fucking half a leg is going to kill him,
no matter how much she wants him to stay alive. )
Louis.
Louis, don't.
( The words come out of her harder, faster, less steel-like. She closes her eyes, refocusing herself, pushing herself up against the wall. )
I'm not risking my life. I am doing what people do when they can't fight and can't run. I am hiding and fortifying, but you can run.
