The other reaches for his sleeve, tangles in it, her fingers curling so gently, so unassuming. It takes her a moment before her hand starts to come out of her pocket...

It never touches him, but then, it doesn't have to. Her psych takes over and does the rest. At such a close range, as his skin splits open, the warm red life under the surface undoubtedly splashes across her front.]
