Heart Game (Continued)

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

It's never scary to have someone understand. But to want to help and be there for someone when you question whether you deserve, or maybe try to avoid the same can make things confusing.

And, like those words on the wall said ... you don't want to be pitied, and it's easy to take things that way, when someone reaches out to you and you're confused enough already. "I want to help this person because I know how horrible those feelings can be, but I feel pitied when people make me feel like I'm made of glass. So am I doing the same thing to them somehow, unintentionally?"

I won't pull back from you, though, if you ever try to reach out and open up to me. I'll do my best to let you know what I need, too. And hope I don't make you feel like glass. I don't want to do that to anybody.

VS: i think my power works best here
VS: i can do the most good for you
VS: and i need to wait for someone
VS: can i ask you a favor

TG: *hope
TG: (fuck what i get for focusing on a drunk roxy)
TG: what is it?

[ and guess who got even lower than two? ]

I was right there.

I should have been able to help.

[ He snerks at that. ]

He's already made a reputation for himself, huh?

[You Free Boys and your Destiny]

[And that would be how it feels like to have every hope, dream, and everything you cherished violently ripped from you and crushed before your eyes.]

[You are now in a void.]

No, it isn't your fault. I know it hurts, but... Please don't blame yourself.

[O-oh.]

[And there's tears in her eyes now and you are GETTING A BITTY HUG.]

VS: haru
VS: cascade
VS: hes in rage
VS: if he
VS: you know if he gets that memory i got
VS: your worst one
VS: i want you to help him
VS: its too much right now
VS: hes strong but that
VS: can you

[Gently returns it!! One arm to start with, so Roxy doesn't feel trapped. And.....kissing the top off her head, laughing quietly.]

[She paused, looking down at the book. She doesn't respond at first, mulling it over.]

I guess I did always stop a few steps 'fore other peeps, huh?

I...think I could believe that from you. At least...from how you treat Castling.

He flooded half of Life.

Life is probably gonna make the mermaid cats be able to live now just so she could have her horde of cats in all that water.

[ and then he understands what she meant about the void. how... easy it could be to let it swallow him. just like how easy it could be to let himself sink into the water. after all those feelings, after that break... being consumed doesn't sound so bad. and for the moment, he'll just... float ]

I knew the most. I was waiting, getting ready to act so when shit went down. I was right there, I know how to handle utter chaos, and crowd control, and all of it.

I would have made a DIFFERENCE.

Even if you could have acted differently... The blame isn't all yours.

Part of you told me before that you're afraid to die.

TG: yeah
TG: was bout to hit you up but then the bloody thing happens n just
TG: yeah
TG: better to let peeps have that moment if they start going
TG: most peeps r in rage now or wit me
TG: easier to keep track so
TG: ill keep an eye on h
TG:
TG:
TG: so
TG: talk to kaito
TG: bout makin like
TG: a pool or something in hope
TG: hope should make it easier 4 him
TG: already got water everywhere not like its gonna hurt none in there

... He didn't mention that part. But I did catch him in his crazy state so I really shouldn't be surprised.

CW: pumpkin soup
CW: Life said it could help
CW: going to Rage now

[Your phone will just start pinging you now.]

TG: hey
TG: hey
TG: hey listen
TG: cascade
TG: haru
TG: HEY

[There's a slight jolt because HOLY SHIT, YOU'RE WARM AND SOFT.]

[But she's gonna keep hugging and maybe cry on you a bit.]

VS: shit
VS: shit
VS: okay
VS: yeah
VS: ill
VS: ill make a pool
VS: well make a pool
VS: shit
VS: well make it

Well, I would prefer to return to the void, but Vetoed went and made that not an option.

TG: ill try to get him to take the pumpkin soup
TG: life made good call there

[gently strokes her hair, murmuring reassurances and soft words of gratitude]

.....you don't have to be alone.
