you won. but at what cost ?
by the aches and pains evident throughout your entire body, the likes of which have bound you to a seemingly eternal dirt nap, death feels close.
( ah… i can see the light. are those the valkyries calling for me… ? )
the cracked glass of your helmet and the rips in your suit do nothing to stop you from chewing the scene. no one can hear your thoughts, after all, so you can be as dramatic as you want. it’s involuntary, even. you think from the heart. never from your mind.
it’s only dawning on you now.
you’re nowhere close to actually dying, but damn if this doesn’t hurt. even the wind itself agitates your nerves, gently kicking dust over your prone form, and the sun’s rays shine through cloudless skies as though the gates of heaven had opened. but the sight of a new friend, her concern and support as genuine as the breeze, does wonders to rejuvenate your spirit.
as soon as you’re back on steady ground, and unsteady feet, you muster enough strength to give the girl a thumbs up.
❝ through iron will and shining hope, i shall never fall ! even if my body wants to say otherwise, i’ll always stand back up, haha !! ❞
you’re saying this to reassure her. a bombastic voice, slightly broken through fatigue and pain, as though you were giving a speech. better yet, you’re trying not to lean on her too much.
( i don’t want to trouble her. she’s already doing this much for me. as soon as i can steady myself, i should be on my—— )
why is the world tumbling over?
oh. the world isn’t tumbling over. duh. that’d be silly.
you are. face first onto the ground, in fact.
goes to show why you should’ve leaned on her some more.
Yeah they’re saying they won’t fall but here they are face planted back onto the ground. In a amusing type of way she was amazed they could continue their act even if they’re most likely eating dirt at this very moment. “Ya should’ve leaned on me you’re being a real dummy being stubborn. This time lean onto me I’ll be fine or else I’m leaving you on the ground” a very weak threat but she wasn’t going to help those who were being stubborn. Even if their hero act was amusing. She swung the hero’s arm over her shoulder pushing themselves back up into a semi standing position,”Let’s have you sit down. Think you can make it a few steps?”
