#post-outbreak

'' I can live with the fact you're older or that you kill without blinking, cause I get it, alright? You have to survive by any means necessary. But this... You don't even look at me Tommy, act as if I'm the enemy, as if I have any control over what happens here. Do you think that I like feeling angry all the time? Or to wake up in pain in the middle of the fucking night, alone and scared, because you had another nightmare, but you are too proud to ask for help''

“His name is Vainglory, not You Died.” He shifted his body, still sitting on the stone surface. “Unless you just mean to state the obvious, because yes, Vainglory died. He died and so did others, and he was unable to protect them. He couldn’t even protect himself.

“Does he deserve to be reborn? Maybe. He would rather not think about the memories of his death and the deaths of the others, but does he deserve to forget such awful things when he couldn’t do anything to prevent them?”

“…..”

“…”

[ The familiar sensation would only result in him clutching the naga like a lifeline, rough, strained sobbing renewing from his chest once more. ]

* ...f... f-failed... him... ‘m... u-useless...* ...g-gone...

[ His tail would curl around her back... his body shaking as he let the tears flow down his face. While one might realize later that Vainglory would respawn, right now, the shock of seeing him dye whilst being unable to do anything to help... ]

“unfortunate.”
