And yet, despite having thoughts conflicted enough to make it seem like he was carefully weighing every possible outcome, Killian's hands had already reached for the doorknob, and his feet had already stepped back to let that suspicious guy inside.
Scared of mental manipulation?
Scared of being haunted by their deep-seated thoughts?
Had Killian known that the twins' ability actually dredged up regrets, he probably would've found this whole situation ten times more suspicious. Because if there was anyone who lived life with the singular goal of leaving as few regrets behind as possible, it was Jackson 'do-first-think-later' Taylor.
Even then, could Killian honestly say he still wouldn't have stepped aside and let him in?
"..."
"..."
Even the bees would've known the answer to that.
Dammit, really.
