At Dan's words, Adrien wept silently.

"So wait, we have to share this bullshit now? We have to make sure his" -she jerked her head at Adrian- "sorry ass never gets..."
Her voice trailed off, and she pressed her lips together.
"Yeah," she said finally. "We do, don't we."
She looked at Dan.
"I mean... however many thousands are way less than billions-"

"It isn't right" he continued to stare at Adrian "but- we have to. If word got out that Adrian was responsible for this, it could upset the powers and it would mean the end of the world as we know it."

"We must alzo stay silent," said Adrien quietly. "We must alzo see zeir faces - we are responsible fo-eur eveuryseeng, ze peace, and... and ze 'orreur as well." His voice was soft and throaty, the pressure Rorschach'd put on his throat leaving a little bit of an impact, and his eyes were red, but outside of soft little gasps he was mostly done crying.

Adrian didn't smile anymore. He looked weak and weary and almost old.
"You're all welcome, of course, to stay until things get a little less... complicated outside."

Rorschach, who had been silent since Adrian kicked him back, rasped out a single, determined:
"No."

Adrian looked at him.
"No?"

"Never compromise. That's always been the difference between you and I, Daniel."
Rorschach opened the airlock and walked out into the snow, shoulders hunched.

Megan stared.
"He's not really going to-"

Adrian was looking at what was left of his right hand.

Dan caught Jon's eye as he turned "Don't even think about it Jon."

Adrien looked up at Adrian uncomfortably, a little bit of longing and a great amount of fear in his gaze, before quickly dropping it to the broken fingers on his discolored left hand.
