He can hear Nelson's heartbeat in his ears, the sound of it comforting and familiar. Home, he thinks again, and the cracks in the Hand's conditioning grow ever wider, and he risks a step forward, then another. Risks reaching an ungloved hand out, seeking warmth, fingers settling over Nelson's cheek.

I'm sorry. [It's something of a hoarse rasp, from someone who's not quite so used to speaking out loud—he should apologize for dying on this man, he supposes. And breaking into his house. And the part where he's supposed to kill him, but that's out of the question now.] I didn't—I didn't know. When they brought me back.
