[Death comes, and only then does the game end.]

[You're free of the vines, even as other bodies are still covered in them.]

[And there's Roxy, just staring at it all blankly.]

From:

forthemackerel

[ remains frozen in his spot, staring at the scene, looking slowly over at her, not sure what to say. really, what does a person say after that? all he can think of is this: ]

Roxy.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

It's my fault.

[Not even Broken Life Roxy sounded that broken. Looked that broken.]

From:

forthemackerel

Was that your choice? To confess, I mean.

[ slowly starts to walk toward her ]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

I did.

Thought I could do it, thought I could break the game, end it quick, minimal deaths....

From:

forthemackerel

But you didn't expect everyone else to follow suit.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

I thought Epona might.

From:

forthemackerel

You did what you thought was best. You tried to protect as many lives as you could.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

And killed 'em all in the process.

From:

forthemackerel

You didn't. Kyriakos did.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

I should have known better. I know games, it's what I grew up with, and I....didn't even think it could....

From:

forthemackerel

Had you been in many games like that before?

From:

It's my life.

My entire life is one big Game.

Win. Win the Game or Paradox Space will kill you dead.

From:

forthemackerel

What would you have done if some other team had confessed first?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Only Epona could, only two wolves, and they weren't gonna.

From:

forthemackerel

How do you would have felt if your team and Epona held out until the end and won the game? Wouldn't that victory have been worse?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

...I don't know.

From:

forthemackerel

Why's that?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

'cause I don't know if I can kill.

From:

forthemackerel

Then the option you took was the only option you had. Wasn't it?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

....

From:

forthemackerel

That isn't a bad thing. You wanted to do what you thought was best, right? You couldn't have predicted what happened. Ultimately, it still was this place that killed everyone. Not you.
