That's the truest statement ever uttered about Faith. And it was something sorely needed, not only in Kate's life, but in all of their lives. Without it, she's sure they would have given up a lot sooner. Maybe never even started. Just allowed themselves to be beaten down by The Agency and by Rosenberg's entire being. Kate's never visited her marker, but she doesn't think of Faith as gone - Faith is home, where she belongs.

It's Kate that's disappeared, once again.

And she wants to make sure that Carlisle doesn't disappear forever. So she won't think about the horrifically appropriate setting. About the possibility this could all fail. That energy must be channeled into working out a solution.

Carlisle speaks and Kate stills, blinking for a moment too long.

"Ah, uh-- Nothin' to apologise for." People fight. They fight more than others. It's comfortable and familiar and doesn't make her fiddle with her hair in the same way that the apology does.
