some random thoughts bouncing in my head about my hc that cypher suffers from immense depersonalization / dissociation. i also have a cyphber verison of this i will post after this
~~
on slow days without missions, cypher tends to wander. well more specifically his mind. it'll drift from one thought to another, unable to string coherent words or sentences. nothing is real to him, nothing feels real. it reminds him of when he lost everything. that empty, hallow feeling that he cannot seem to shake. and he could sit in that state for hours, days even if it wasn't for omen. the ghoul like man will slink his way into cyphers room and hold him tight. squeeze him gently as if pulling together all the broken pieces of cyphers soul and making them one. and then he'll cradle him close to his chest. while omen might not having a heart beat or breathing for cypher to listen to, the gentle feeling of the mans hands on his back and sides is more than he could ask for. omen will sit with cypher for however long he needs or wants. he'll remind cypher just how much he's worth, how much everyone in the vp needs him, how much he needs him. omen adores cypher with all of his metaphorical heart, he'd go to the ends of both their earth and omega earth just to see the other man smile. and even if cypher doesn't have the words to tell omen just how much he appreciates the help in the moment, the rest of their time will be filled with more cuddles and hushed whispers of "i love yous" or simple little compliments o keep them both pushing forward and the following morning omen will always find breakfast at his bedside with a tiny note from his wonderful boyfriend reminding him just how dearly he loves him and everything he does for him
