That's where you're wrong.

[magnitudes]

Yeah? Enlighten me.

[hardedged]

[ she hates you so much rn, sarissa. ]

That devil I mentioned? Name's Kilgrave.

Back home, he killed innocent people. Because of me.

[magnitudes]

Oh. Shit.

( well, she hates herself too. )

I'm sorry. But that's-- never being close to anyone again ain't a solution.

[hardedged]

Whatever works.

And it's only half the reason, anyway.

[magnitudes]

And the other half?

[hardedged]

I don't deserve to be around others. To be... [ an exhausted exhale. ] Happy.

[magnitudes]

( OKAY. WOW.

The slowest exhale, and she is going to just take Jessica's hands TO HELL with whatever dramatic self-isolating nonsense Jessica might try to pull. Gently, but insistently: )

That is bullshit. You deserve to be happy, and to have good things, and you deserve better than bloody torturing yourself. And you know I'm not placating you because we're stuck in a void of bloody truthiness.

[hardedged]

[ she keeps her gaze low, glancing at their entwined hands, but doesn't pull away. ]

You don't know what I've done, Sarissa. What he made me do.

[magnitudes]

I don't need to. And if he made you do it? That's different.

[hardedged]

[ a resigned shake of her head. ]

Doesn't erase what happened.

[magnitudes]

Not saying it does. Doesn't mean it's on you, but. Events can't be undone, but you don't have to be the one to carry 'em. I could get all poetic about mighty oaks, if you want.

[hardedged]

[ jess snorts, though she cracks a small, uncertain smile. ]

How romantic.

[magnitudes]

Unfortunately, that's who I am. Shameless romantic. Sorry.

[hardedged]

Shameless romantic who never shuts up.

[ it's spoken with a playful edge. and with that said, she ducks her head closer, lips meeting hers. because jessica jones is an impulsive asshole. ]

[magnitudes]

( Well fine, pick a way to make her be quiet. )

I'm shutting up now.

( — which is technically still her talking, damn it. She hates when other people are right. )

[hardedged]

[ she lets sarissa have the last word, moving back in for a deeper, more passionate kiss. god, she missed this. ]
