The tears are rolling down her cheeks freely as soon as he takes her hand, and even as she's trying to keep from actively sobbing, she's listening.
When she thinks of the true evil of the creature that is apparently her father, what she thinks of are those moments in which she'd seen his eyes, enjoying the torment he put her through, revealing Nick, happy to kill her family. She meets Marcus's eyes, and he smiles and is gentle with her.
He thinks she's good, and she wants to be, so much.
"I tried so hard," she finally stammers out, and throws her arms around his neck and lets herself cry, a different sort of tears than have been poured elsewhere. "I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I tried so hard." She's apologizing, she knows, to ears that can't hear her, in another world, but the words and the weeping keep coming.
