Abigail is fully aware she's the only participant in this conversation. Still, it does her good to voice these thoughts aloud, if quietly and near Raph's ear.

"I'm not sayin' I want different for my life than this. But you're the only other person here who knows what I've seen now, and when you're gone..."

One shoulder lifts in a shrug.

"I'm not the same anymore."
