[ Through the door, Logan hears her thundering heartbeat, her unsteady breaths. He hasn't asked her how she got rid of that thing, but he can guess. He can guess because he did it for (to) Kimiko, and it sure as hell wasn't pretty. And while he isn't not concerned about Kimiko, it's...Karen's different. She isn't like them, for one. Hasn't spent her life with one wound after another stitching together, hasn't known what it is to feel the type of agonizing pain most never do and somehow walk away without a single scar to show for it.
It's not something he'd have ever wanted for her. ]
Hey. [ Seeing her standing in one piece is a relief for him, too. He takes her hands, thoughtless, curling his fingers around them. ] You alright? I've beenโ
[ Worried, he doesn't finish. Probably a stupid question; of course she's not alright. This time, he doesn't wait for an invitation, just steps through the door and closes it carefully behind him. Her place is still the same as when he'd left, cabinet door hanging off and a couple of items strewn around.
Honestly? He's not sure why he came. There isn't anything he can do, not really. He found her hitchhiker, she's gotten it taken care of, and physically, she's okay. The rest...the rest, he isn't good at. That's the truth.

But he still wanted to see her, so. Here he is. ]
