[Ronan shouldn't have had to see this part of him. Adam knows that - he knows that he doesn't want to destroy Ronan's opinion of him, change the way Ronan looks at him. He should have thought it through more carefully. He still feels like it was necessary - he still thinks it was. But that's alarming too. That it was so easy, that nothing stopped him.
Adam knows that he's never been a good person, but to know that it goes this far is upsetting. To know that Ronan sees it, too, is even worse.]
I'll take care of it.
[His voice is soft. He reaches up to touch Ronan's cheek, to gently turn his face away from the body on the ground. This is Adam's fault, Adam's responsibility. Ronan should not have to look at it. Ronan should certainly not have to get blood on his hands.]
I did this. I'll take care of it.
[Somehow, Adam's voice is steady, though inside he's anything but.]
