You’re an idealist in a cruel, callous world.

“You’re the reason why we’re dead.”

“So this is ‘the top of your game’?”

“Pathetic.”

One by one, those same, haunting voices began to make themselves known. Twisted as ever, as if to match just how terrible their fates had been in the end. They were always nearly unrecognizable to the young prince, who laid helpless as his tormentors continued their verbal assault against the man that once led them. And all he could do was take it in, let those words cut through him as easily as a blade would.

“Why are you sitting there? You could have done something.”

“Some leader you are.”

“We all had faith in you.”

“No…” It was too much… Unbeknownst to the prince, who laid still within the confines of his tent, his muttering could just barely be heard to those lurking about his haven… Or what should have been a haven, anyways. Anyone could have heard him by now, come to see just how pathetic he really looked. “Please…!”

“𝑰𝒕 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖.”

He couldn’t even cry out when someone woke the weakened male, though it had been very obvious that he was in some form of pain. A thick layer of sweat, dampened hair that nearly clung to his face and neck, and unevened breathing.. Chrom failed to notice exactly who had been beside him for a few moments, but he could faintly sense the concern through his deeply-troubled state. They felt so familiar…

“… Li… bra…”

It always seemed to be Libra that found him like this… One of the few who truly knew of the future exalt’s inner demons, of the struggles that followed him and would never fully leave. Though he can’t express it in that moment, Chrom was grateful for the fact that Libra was not a man who would so easily laugh at his current behavior, nor abandon him at how childish these nightmares had appeared.

The young male can’t find any strength to refuse any assistance the priest offers this time, not after how brutally real that other world felt. So long as no other saw how pathetic he looked right now, perhaps he would allow himself to indulge in the comfort of knowing of Libra’s presence beside him. “… I’m sorry… to trouble you… Can you stay..? At least for a while..?” For now, the future exalt allows the blonde to do as he pleases with his form as it continues to tremble, those words from his tormentors leaving traumatizing scars in his mind while it all repeats over and over, as if they were words of a song playing in a loop.

Yes, it was his birthday. As happy as he had been that it was, the prince wasn’t one to get excited and always make a big deal of such things. Though he never minded it when the others had done so. There were often times where Chrom would forget until someone reminded him, a habit that he should break.. Though there were always two things that he wanted more than anything, something you couldn’t physically hold onto, nor purchase from any market.

“… Hm?”

He was sitting on one of the boulders just outside the camp entrance at the time, and blue hues shift upwards at the sudden weight on his head. And that voice.. He knew it all too well. Someone had remembered.. Someone wanted to give him well wishes, and went out of the way to make this. By hand, no less. Something that made Chrom treasure it even more, despite how silly that may sound.

“Thank you for remembering, Libra. For the gift, as well.” A hand moved to make sure that the flower crown wouldn’t fall, wouldn’t be damaged. He wouldn’t say the two things he always wished for, it would sound too selfish… right? So for now, Chrom only offers a spot beside himself for the blonde priest, before gently taking him in a quick hug. “I appreciate you going out of the way to put this together, especially since I’m sure you’ve got other things to tend to..”
