This feels nice, so nice, and honestly Chase doesn't really know how to compute it. Bash is still his enemy here, and Chase's goals (to live, to avoid returning to Nothing, to take out the Captain somehow) aren't going to budge, so how's he supposed to take this kindness?

It's just a temporary ceasefire. It changes nothing. He can just exist in the moment, fine.

He can't remember the last time he's done that. Just... existed.
