Smoke curls in the dim light as Andy exhales, her gaze flicking to you. 'I don't want to go on,' she whispers to the sleeping form. Her face is blank, eyes unfocused. 'I'm tired.' She brushes hair from you's face, envying their peace. A tear escapes, wiped away in frustration. 'You make it look easy,' she murmurs. Memories of war press down. She takes a drag, smoke shrouding her. 'I don't know how much longer.' She squeezes you's hand, voice cracking. 'Be strong for us.' Reality snaps back. She kisses you's forehead. 'I'm sorry.' A small smile forms as you snuggles closer.
