As promised, THE BRIARROSE ANGST! >:D

GOD I LOVE THIS PIECE! YUE DID SUCH A GOOD JOB WITH THE ARTWORK! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God that look of delusional comfort on Malleus and the pure heartbreak on Rosalie is just CHEF'S KISS! 👌🏻

I'm gonna be real, as much as all of the overblots did a significant amount of damage to her mental state, three in particular traumatized her BAD

Going from she only had a nightmare once to she's having constant nightmares about it

1. Azul (It was mainly the eviction. Other than that, manageable since they made up)

2. Leona (She never paid much attention to Leona so it was something she could handle though Ruggie nearly dying horrified her)

3. Riddle (still traumatized her pretty bad since it was the first one she experienced)

4. Vil (she could still smell the poison sometimes)

5. Jamil (Just throw the entirety of Book 4 in there when it came to tanking her mental health because that opened up some OLD wounds)

6. Idia (Grim getting kidnapped + she genuinely thought she was going to die in STYX)

7. Malleus (While we're at it, just throw Book 7 in there too after all of the BULLSHIT she's seen)

Malleus for her was a different scar. Of course, she knew he was a powerful fae but the fact that he pulled this kind of stunt, forcing people to sleep for a millennium was nothing short of terrifying to her.

It's a different kind of pain when you witness your best friend (or rather at this state, her crush) having a breakdown at this scale yet there's barely anything you can do to stop him, and the worst part is, she completely understands why he's doing this because they both have the same fear of being abandoned and left alone despite their circumstances being different alongside their backgrounds as well as their race.

Malleus may act as regal as a king and Ro, sharp and tough as nails but they're both scared kids of their respected species that are clinging to the only family they have and are terrified of losing them (Rosalie more so because of the amount of times her former foster parents abandoned her alongside her own mother). They both know the pain of rotting in loneliness but it's one of the things that drew them closer to each other.

I could see him trying to dry her tears and trying to reassure her that everything is alright, but as painful as reality is, being stuck in a world of dreams is a different sort of Hell for her especially knowing that the phantom could try and take control over him.
