I'm one of the only ones who can, though! And I can't turn my back on that responsibility! And Catra - Catra.

[ She trails off. ]

I need you. So badly. I'm terrified every time I go into a fight. I'm so scared. But I cant stop. I don't get to just... stop. And having you around makes me feel like I have something to come back to.

[ As opposed to just dying as the ultimate form of self-sacrifice. ]

[ Gods. Catra wants to hold Adora now more than ever. To reassure her, to soothe her. Yet at the same time, she's so damn stubborn and stupid. Catra shifts a little, rustling as she listens to Adora. ]

Just... please, Adora. Don't be afraid of saying what you want. That's all I'm asking for. I want you to come back to me, no matter what happens and I want to be here for you. It just kills me knowing that you won't ever say the things you want--the things you need because you're so worried about others.

[princesspower]

I do say what I want.

[ Adora sounds a little despairing. ]

Why don't any of you believe me?

[heterochrocatic]

Because I know you. Because I see how you act and what you do! I just...

I don't know.

I'm sorry. I'm just scared of losing you. Of hurting you because you think you need to give up something.

[princesspower]

You're asking me to... do something and be someone I'm not.

[ Or that's how it feels to Adora, anyway. ]

I'll be fine. I promise.

[heterochrocatic]

I--

Okay.

[ She doesn't have the energy to keep arguing about this right now. She'll just bottle it up inside and try not to worry. Except she will worry, because it's Adora. ]

Fine.

[princesspower]

I'll talk to you soon, OK? I need... I need to take a walk.

[heterochrocatic]

Yeah. Okay. Talk to you later.
