when the night falls on you
& you don't know what to do

"Even then." Tobi agrees. Dead was dead for the doctor, and so long as a death was quick, the gruesome matter in which it happened was typically not something that crossed her mind. 'I promise you that this will fade, but it will take time." Never one to needlessly sugarcoat things, Tobi smiles. "You will see it when you close your eyes, it will wake you from your sleep, and mundane things like the core of an apple might even remind you of it. All that is normal, and if you go forward knowing to expect it, it will be easier to deal with."

Feeling sympathy for Finn but not pitying him, it's with a slight frown that she watches his fingers slide out of hers, only to wrap around her instead. Rather than melting into his embrace Tobi continues to stand firm as she slides her arms around him in return, tucking her head comfortably under his chin. "Of course it does." She murmurs against him. "I wouldn't believe you if you said it didn't." Closing her eyes and listening to the sound of his heartbeat, Tobi nuzzles her cheek against his warmth. "Remember, you don't have to decide anything right now." She adds, much as she might want to remind him that it was possible for him to just leave the Order altogether if he wanted to.
