[For a second, she thinks it's Gabe— that body in the tub. The water's thick with muddied pink, slackened muscle, lifeless fingers gone wholly still. It strikes a nerve somewhere in her chest, sharp and pinching, breath held until cold metal bites into her skin and she registers the low, all too familiar snarl of his voice.]

Shit, vato. [Sombra echoes again, exhaling harder this time, head rolling away from the muzzle of his gun and stepping forward— turning on her heel to face him— as always, without fear. If he wants to point a gun at her, he can point it at her face.] You think I'm stupid? Of course I came alone.

[From there, her attention flicks away: back towards the tub over her shoulder, shattered glass and bloodied streaks, overturned furniture. It's easy to picture what might have happened - whether or not there's another body laid out nearby, or maybe that she'd already passed one. Robberies were common, but as for him? He wouldn't be so shaken if that's all this was.

Wouldn't smell half as much smoke in the air, either.

She lifts a hand to her jawline, scrubbing it in deep, obvious thought, painted knuckles illuminating the markings streaked across her face.
] What the fuck happened?
