hi . im here about velzies stage play again
just 6 words for you today : cavik having to kill miltza repeatedly
haha .
yeah .
The first time the loop failed to restart correctly. Wires crossed like veins of spireblood severed and clumsily sewn back together — somewhere between what was yours and what was not. Most things reset, you were sent back to the start. But Miltza was not there. You did not learn this until later. Until after Akizet did not reach the edge of the Golem Maintenance segment that they had started to reconvene at. She pulled you to the side the next repetition, telling you in hushed words and tightly wound receptors that something had gone very wrong. ...There was a part of you, somewhere in the cruelest depths of your thoughts, that did not feel any relief that Miltza had not been lost. Because, cruel as it was, if she was gone... he would not have to do it again. Kill her. Velzie's smile, he had tried to find a way around it. To act more quickly, to be more careful, to avoid having the misfire that separated them from the others happen at all. Each change, each "fix" he and Akizet attempted, leaded to a worse outcome than the last. More harm, more risk, more final death. Though it seemed there could be no final death for either of them here. Not in this place. Cavik tried to not keep a count of how many times he had seen Vekoa embrace Miltza now. How many times he had seen her mangled form, begging him to listen. He could never make out her words in time. It was all lost in the chorus of the rest of the Okidoia. He had stopped looking away some repetitions ago. The apology had begun dying on its way out. Was he still sorry after all of this time? Would it be fair for him to beg for her forgiveness even if he was? Did it matter at all when she was nothing more than a parasite when he pulled the trigger. ...He did not believe she was nothing more than a parasite anymore. He thinks that may be worse. He sheds no tears as she is at his mercy once again.
