ceases instructing her to take breaths, he rubs the side of her arm for
continued assurance. He relaxes the more he can see the panic subside from
Ruby.
"Good. Focus on that. Just keep taking breaths and don't think about it too
hard. You're doing great." He feels she's calm enough that she won't mind

before he lifts the bottom of her shirt high enough to see the old bullet

is to shake his head. "You're the same as I remember you--nothing has
changed." Especially not in the way he feels about her.
