Klaus leans into her and it’s reminiscent of all those years ago in the hospital room, when her presence and warmth was all he needed to keep himself grounded. He tries to remember that now, even though his head feels like it’s full to bursting with noise, his heart wrenched apart.
“Yeah, the officer who helped me mentioned his name. I didn’t stay long enough to see what happened.”
It was all he could do to try and escape, and he couldn’t look back. He feels guilty for that, really, because he could have utilized those ghosts more, could have defended himself better, but after hours of countless beatings, his mind felt like it was far overhead, detached from his body in a way that made it all but impossible to focus.
He sucks in a deep breath, burying his face into her shoulder. He can hear movement in the hallway, hears Ben comment on Five passing down the hall with curious eyes, but he ignores it.
“This place is fucked,” he says finally, laughing a little. “Nothing good ever happens here, does it? And now we’ve gotta stop the apocalypse, how grand.”
