"Because I found out you died again from someone else. I found your house destroyed. I couldn't find you anywhere. I had to beat on the door of the green dome for an hour before they finally let me in and told me what happened."

He almost laughs over the broom comment. Almost. Until he looks down and sees that it no longer broken.

"I don't want you to clean this mess up. I'm not angry." He's hurt and he's not even really hurt by what happened here. It's just unfortunate that this situation exposed it. Picking up the broom he takes a deep breath.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there when you woke up." He pauses and clears his throat. "I've never been the one with you when you wake up from something like that. Never was asked to be. It didn't even cross my mind that I should have been there this time. I'm sorry."

Ash hates how that sounds but it is the truth. He doesn't want to come off as jealous or possessive. It's just what he has learned. She dies and he waits for someone to come tell him what happened. He waits for her to come tell him she is back.

"You've been different here and I'm not sure what I've done to piss you off. Except this. This is my fault. And I'm...sorry." Now he's going to start to sweep the debris up.
