"Maybe." Muffled into his shoulder. "Probably. I made their faces... they were wonderful people. Courageous. Devoted to the cause. Not the type to say 'only the people on our island are safe and that's enough.'"
"Shit." He sounds sad about it, too. "Yeah, the good die young, don't they? They sound like kick-ass people. Way better than any of the assholes I've met."
Hange wraps her arms around him briefly and just. Hangs. Hange-s.
She is heavy.
She takes her own weight back after a tiny bit.
"The good do die young. Bill thought we should've power-grabbed and made other people go outside the walls, but I wouldn't have loved them if they thought like that."
If Hange gets sad, it's going to be a wrestling match to get unsad again. Better to not let the low really dip in the first place. She does take her ex-inmate's hand, though.

"Unless I get an Admiral deal to revive them... or somehow retrieve them myself..."

This is said with amusement. Oh, Bill.
