"You survived without slipping into terrible habits. You provided comfort to people who needed it," Annie points out. "You've done your best and that's enough for me."

Annie considers her past when he questions her. It's not pretty, like everyone seems to think. "I have a lot of guilt I'm working on. I beat a man's skull in instead of making sure he was arrested. I... let my anger and wrath blind me. I also participated in witchcraft. Which... I'd rather not talk about. But it was the murder that got my 'punisher' upset. Because I told him I'd been blinded by someone's lies and believed they were good right up until I was shown how evil they were. I think that struck a nerve."

Annie knows her own weakness. "I want to be a better person, but I'm still angry. Knowing you'd do the same thing again given the chance doesn't change anything."

Annie looks up at him. It is amazing to her, she trusts him so fast. " I feel like I could tell you everything. Even the things I don't tell anyone else.... it's like. I don't trust easily with that stuff. But you make it feel okay to be honest."

And looking at him makes her heart beat in a familiar way. Annie thinks it's weird to be so emotionally attached to someone so fast, but he feels right. Like warm milk or a blanket fresh from the dryer. She can see trusting him with every part of her and while earlier that would have scared her off, Annie knows this feeling is correct.
