HEAR YE, HEAR YE, NEW SAGE RECORDING JUST DROPPED!! And it's fucking devastating oml 😭
From Valorant's official account on Instagram (well, I'm sure it's posted elsewhere as well, but I saw it on Instagram), we have Sage saying this:
"Brimstone, I know the others are talking. I do not blame them—but they need to spend that energy elsewhere. I'm fine. The crystals won't interfere with the work ahead of us and I've already proven that on the field. You have seen what kind of damage Omega can do under their new "leadership." This is not the time to rest. I'm fine! This is not up for discussion."
The caption of the video also reads: "Everyone has a breaking point."
I highly recommend you listen to the recording yourself, because even my formatting can't do the VA's work here justice. Here it is on Insta.
I just can't get over how exhausted and frustrated she sounds. Then there's the way she's also focusing on proving that she's still useful and the damage she can prevent rather than actually worrying about her health and well-being....ohhh Sage you make me sick. This is the first time we've seen her martyr complex on display so obviously, and my god does it hurt. The way she finds it necessary to repeat that she's fine, the way she won't even allow anyone else to doubt it or consider taking her off of the field... It's so painfully clear that she doesn't give a damn what happens to her as long as the Protocol prevails.
Also, shoutout to @nanmermr03 for bringing the video to my attention. We, yes WE, are suffering now <3
