❛ have you ever lost someone? ❜
@bondedtrauma. / from here. / accepting.
byleth feels his eyes go wide , the pen in his hand nearly cracking with the force of his grip. loss is a beast not so unfamiliar to him , after all , & she loves to rear her head from time to time , sink teeth into his not yet healed wounds , rip them open & make him bleed , threaten to kill him with the pain.
but he survives. he must , after all , for those who are still here.
‘ of course i have. who hasn’t ?? ’
he forces his voice to remain smooth & even , it doesn’t do anyone any good for him to betray his emotions here , lay his soul bare to a near stranger . it’s more than just bothering her , a stranger has no right to his life story.
‘ loss, i believe, is the one true human experience. the loss of the things we love, that kind of pain unites everyone, whether they believe it or not. ’
calmly , he sets the pen on the table , lifting his eyes to meet hers , expression neutral as ever.
‘ and what about you ?? have you lost anyone ?? ’
