All that tension relents in Konstantin like an exhale of breath, not because it's gone, but because he's tired. He found what he was looking for — what was on the other end of that black-ish tether, what answers would be waiting for him.
He found a mirror reflection of himself.
It wasn't what he was expecting. His eyelids flutter, then go a little hazy, half-closed. He almost laughs when Louis says maybe he's damned, that it's the Devil he believes in more than God, because god-damn if all of it couldn't have come straight from his own mouth. The cosmonaut leans against the outer wall of the store, sore like a bruise.
"Well that makes two of us. If anything does exist out there, pulling the strings or maybe just watching us all screw ourselves over, it's no god."
He falls quiet for a long moment. When he asks what he does next, it's not an interrogation, just quiet, thoughtful.
"You were going to attack me. Before. It looked like you wanted to bite my throat right out. Is that what you wanted?"
