Piotr Rasputin died, she shouted at him when she found him alive in that awful red-lit room, and I know this because I carried his ashes to Russia and scattered them myself!
Piotr knew exactly what he was doing when he injected himself with the Legacy cure and triggered that chemical reaction. Knew what, and why.
He doesn't forget either.
He has enough ands of his own.
I'm sorry is too complicated to say. (For all her pain -- all of everyone's -- it's true. But that, too, he knew would happen when he did it.) But he can kiss her hair softly, and feel her weight on his chest as he breathes out.
"I know."
And there's an apology of sorts in that, too, unspoken.
