[Her lip trembles, and she bites down to stifle it, and there's an ache in her own eyes as she stares up at him. A wish that she doesn't dare say aloud lest she scare away... whatever version of him this is. Or worse, trigger something that there would be no coming back from.
But maybe she's stupid and naive to hope that he is still in there somewhere, and if she just moves a little closer, she can reach him. Risky, yes, but he was always worth that risk. Still is, no matter how much fear that coldness in his eyes strikes within her.
If anyone could get through to him, it would be her, wouldn't it?]
... Come closer.
[She twists her wrist in his grip and stretches up to him as far as he will let her be.]
