"But we might have to." Sooner or later, someone'll have to do it. Someone will have to stain their hands with blood, and Bertolt already did it once. He's not sure if he could do it again.

It isn't until he finishes his business and wills himself to calm down that he tentatively reaches out for Reiner's hand.
Bertolt is more terrified than he wants to admit, but at the same time he knows this is what Reiner really needs. As much as he wants to be all that he'll ever want, he's fully aware that it's not possible. "Reiner?"
