@afoxhound asked: āHere, I have an extra weapon.ā for Frank uwu
Sound and smell dulled, Frank doesnāt realize heās being rescued until the figure is in the room with him. The bindings on his wrists and ankles disappear and he turns as the man speaks. Itās a muffled sound ā his ears are gone, after all ā but he doesnāt need to hear to see the gun offered. To see the man who offers it.
Frank didnāt think he would see him again. Not in a million years. But here he is, the same man who rescued him as a kid, the first to teach him to fight, and now rescuing him once more. A pretty pathetic situation to be found in. Heād held out this long against the FRELIMO soldiers, enduring both his ears and his nose being cut off, but getting caught in itself is a disgrace. They stimmed the blood so he wouldnāt bleed out, better to have him alive and semi-coherent for their purposes, and itās the only reason he hasnāt died. Through it all, his sister is his guiding light, the one reason he pulls through. No one would be there for her if he isnāt.
Mustering his strength, Frank reaches out and grabs Big Bossās arm.Ā āCanāt leave...Naomi...ā Heās light-headed and words are hard to grasp, but he cannot leave without her. He told her to hide, but what if she was found? What if they knew she wasnāt a boy? Her pain would be a million times worse than his own.
