@nohysterlcs said : ‘ this is beyond a game. ’
knows far too well how these things work : you lived and died with it . tethered to a vicious cycle for lifetimes / reciting the same pleading mantra every night. so, so many hours writhing in puddles of emotion you can’t even begin to comprehend, sending off signals waiting for response until an answer finally came. [ looked where it led you. look what it made you. ] tricked and beckoned towards false exodus, despite the oppressive knowledge that something was deeply wrong. and the vivisections, torn deep into the remnants of conscious ‘til the remains were left empty and hollow. [ oh, if only you had known then. ]
so on some level, you almost understand him. his reasons for coming towards you / pray as you did for the fervent hope of escape. [ your lives scattered vast, all ending with the same conclusion. screaming until your throat is raw, hands sore as you try to free yourself from grave. you see it now : you’ve more in common with him than you would ever say. ]
and neither do you care. mud - coated boot digs absently into the soft soil beneath : you don’t even bother interrupting him. anything he’s says falls flat, anyway. snuffed out among the buzzing - static that is your mind. the vessel has been sinking / the vessel has been damaged. he, staring down on the freezing tomb below, waiting for a salvation from that vast damnation. your name is no longer destined to that grave. you are gone / you are free. and that’s the difference between you and him, isn’t it ?
‘ that’s not my issue. ’ pupils blown wide behind cask - bound eyes, staring ahead towards him. the ground is no longer of interest to you, and a step is taken forward, further closing that distance between them. silence. again, a strained voice contaminates the air. ‘ now is it ? ’
