Journeys End Chapter Nine: Running

Your words.

Your face.

I am hit with a wrecking ball - somehow my body's still standing, though my mind, soul - and heart - have been bashed - smashed -

What do you -

not your responsibility anymore

be free, Sebastian

No.

No - you can't -

You can't -

- dismiss me -

I watch you walk away, shout at myself to run after you, but my feet can't move.

be free

No -

No I am not free - never free -

I don't want to be free -

Archie touches my shoulder.

"It can be confrontational, being asked questions like that. Best let him cool down for a bit; we can take this up tomorrow..."

I turn around, punch him in the jaw, knock him out cold. He falls to the floor.

I run after you.

Please -

"Jim - Jim please -

wait -"

Zoro just killed his spirit animal

Chapter Sixteen: More Violets, More Emotion

I feel your heartbeat against me, I feel your chest rise and fall as you breathe in deeply and exhale. Life in my hands, so fragile, so vulnerable... I haven't felt this way about anyone since... no. I am *not losing you, too*.

Another feeling, a familiar feeling, rises from the depths like a serpent, and Empathy wisely runs away and hides. I am pulsing with venom, I am the vicious embodiment of Fury and Hate... and this has always been the best way to bend the universe to my will. To cease being Jim.

Because Moriarty always, always gets what he wants.

This is Panthera Tigris. They love their personal space.
