"Do you want to talk about it?" Rex asked, though Echo barely heard him over the thrumming of his own heartbeat.
"No."
Rex hummed. "You have to talk about it."
The words stuck to Echo's already sweat slick skin. "I'd prefer not to."
"I'm going to make you." Rex shuffled somewhere behind him. He didn't turn around to see what he was doing. Too much effort. Too much pain.
"Because you're my captain?" The words felt bitter on Echo's heavy tongue. Resting in his dry mouth like a lump.
Rex sighed. Another knife through Echo's chest. "Because I'm your friend."
