We were at a cantina they were both familiar with and after a few drinks, I let slip the reason I haven't had a full night's sleep in the past two years or so. I tried to cover it up, but Kaci called me out on it in that blunt way she has. That girl has a nose for nerfdruk and a passion for comparing her past misdeeds with those of others. I think she smelled blood in the water.
 
I could see Konstanz trying to empathize with the guilt I felt – not only for what I’d done on Nar Shaddaa, but for causing Luto’s brother’s death, then her parents and my own family.
