Title: The Dead Tree Gives No Shelter
Rating: PG
Summary: There's something cruel about making a man dig his own grave.
Disclaimer: I do not own Lost. At all. I wish but alas...
Author's Note: For lost_in_108, challenge #24, changed. Spoilers for 6.07.
There's something cruel about making a man dig his own grave. She thinks this as someone who'd held a gun in his face with every intention of pulling the trigger. Maybe Ben has been figuratively digging his own grave for a while. Actually doing it must be a sobering experience for him.
When Ben and Illana come back through the grass, Sun guesses she changed her mind. She senses a change in Ben too, as he sets down his rifle, asking if she needs help.
The change in herself is the most surprising. For this man she had once hated, she finds compassion, and she accepts his offering.
