"I had nothing else," Mohinder said, pace slowing almost immediately. "You didn't come back. I waited. I stayed the entire night." Mohinder always walked the line between logic and emotion, ignoring the former to follow his heart as often as the reverse. Now, emotion was wearing out. He had held it together for so long...
Mohinder's hands shook, both now wrapped around the larger hand of his boyfriend. That slow pace nearly stopped dead as the tears made it up to his eyes.... And his voice.
"People get lost," he all but whispered. "People sometimes don't come back. The vortex collapses during transit. Jack himself said he was caught in a temporal loop for six years."
Now the Indian wasn't walking at all, head bowing as he pulled Gabriel's whole arm against him. The excitement of his return, reselling Jim's story-- it got to him.
"Half of those vaults are empty, the ones with the name plates. Half!. You didn't come back--"
