He doesn't agree. He's not sure he ever will, but every man has their breaking point, and Bucky's finally reached his. The fight gives from his body so that he goes slack under the weight of Steve's arm. His expression crumples like paper, but he's pushed so hard, for so long that he can't find relief from the release. The road to redemption is long and treacherous, and he's only just begun -- his work as Captain America, with the Avengers, what little good he's done on this damn island... It's a start, but the destination is nowhere near in sight.

His tears fall more freely, and he makes no effort to quiet the sobs that rip from his throat, ones so violent he may as well just be screaming. He's been defeated, not absolved.
