She wants to say he's wrong. Nothing's really changed. This is all still hard for her. She doesn't always win. Matthew is telling her what she desperately wants to hear. Elektra wants to believe him more than anything so she kisses him back with a gentleness she really isn't known for. What he's talking about sweet and she's fairly certain she cried out any aggression she had left five minutes ago.

"I hope so." She whispers against his lips. Elektra wishes she could collapse against him and sleep. She's tired as well. It's important he understands what they've gotten themselves into so she hovers above him. "I won't lie to you again, Matthew. This place is against us. It will hurt you or me sooner or later in the most intimate ways imaginable. Neither of us will be able to stop it. It's going to be difficult to be okay for long."
