Oh god I just watched Eret and Eyrn’s lore and. Eret didn’t know. They didn’t know that the reason Wilbur survived the November 16th explosion was Phil.
Eryn asked! He knew. He knew it would have been impossible for Wilbur to survive that. He asked Eret how Wilbur could have survived. And Eret’s response was “I...don’t know. But he survived that explosion. Phil was the one who killed him”
That gets me wondering. How many people. Actually know. That Phil sacrificed his wings to save Wilbur. That he sheltered Wilbur from an explosion of his own making only to kill him when he begged. How many people don’t know about the tragedy he has to live with daily
Does Phil throw a cloak over his burned, broken wings when he travels through the greater SMP areas? Does he keep them folded tight against his back and cover them, not wanting to show weakness, not wanting to show his shame, not wanting for other people to see his failure
How many people actually know that the Angel of Death is grounded?
