Itâs one thing to know what he does when she is not around - itâs another to actually see it in person. While Carmen isnât particularly the squeamish type (sheâs seen her fair amount of blood and other assorted injuries in her day), this manages to completely catch her off-guard. Itâs the FIRST time she sees him like this. Whereas she is normally detached, here she finds herself enveloped in a blanket of uncertainty and FEAR??? It is not a fear for her, but for him as she stands there frozen, wondering if the blood on his hands is his or another's.  Her eyes try to discern the origin- if it is indeed coming from him. Yet, the crimson hues of the blood on his clothing and hands appear to be a language that even she cannot hope to comprehend. Total comprehension is lost in futile translation. Before she can even fully comprehend what is happening, she instinctively goes to him. common sense might have been to r u n when you see someone with blood ... Instead, her hands firmly grip the side of his face, not even remotely caring if her own hands become stained RED in the process. âAre you okay? Are you hurt?â Thereâs panic mixed in her voice, audible enough, her tone a tad bit higher than usual. It was then that Carmen felt her own blood pounding through her own veins. She thinks to speak again, but the words die with each worried breath. She thinks to tell him that sometimes she does not understand how he can lend himself to all of this... but verily, this is the road they have chosen to walk on.Â
