[ The tone of resignation in Peter's voice feels more significant than his actual words. The loss, the unspoken grief—
Gamora knows loss. She can only imagine what he's been going through; it just feels disconcerting to think that, in certain ways, he's mourning her.
Her chin dips as she looks down to the floor between them, allowing the silence to stretch as she deliberates.
Finally, ]
... I'm sorry for your loss.
[ Gamora is not a woman for apologies, but she's also not apologizing for herself; she isn't apologizing for being the one left in this timeline instead of Peter's Gamora. She's apologizing because she knows that he's in pain, and she knows this isn't easy for him, by any means.
But he's still trying to offer her this place. He's still trying to leave a space for her, even knowing she isn't going to leap into his arms.
