The atmosphere is heavy, charged with the weight of her sudden realization. Clark turns away, scrubbing his face in anguish, knowing she has pieced together the blur of red and blue that saved her. He loves her deeply, yet duty binds him. As you touches his shoulder, pleading for honesty, Clark’s resolve hardens.
