[Danny]

It's been a couple of weeks now. Long enough that Kate's not really mad anymore. Long enough that she even sort of gets what Danny was trying to say to her that day in the Compound, but she's still a little hurt. It's not even about what he wants her to do, in the end. It's about feeling like she wasn't listened to at all and it reminds her just a little too much of how things used to be at home sometimes.

Still, class has been awkward as all hell and she knows that she's going to have to be the one to go to Danny. He basically told her as much, after all, and she figures that makes sense, even if it makes her super uncomfortable and even if she has no idea how to start. It's like she wants to be an adult and calmly tell him why she was upset, but that's hard. It's hard because it's super vague and she feels pretty stupid about it now.

But she still has to try. She knows that much, which is why she's at Danny's place that afternoon. Right now she's going to be an adult, she's going to talk to him, but she's also going to tell him why she's upset. Because she deserves to be heard.

"Danny?" she calls, knocking lightly on the door. "Are you here?"
