❛ is there a good ending for us ? ❜ ( for v obviously ) // from @rockerb0y
` from where they sit? with each breath an effort, consciously forcing her lungs to keep expanding and her heart to keep beating through another relic malfunction — it's pretty fucking grim. the world goes in and out of focus in her kiroshis, yet johnny's presence at her side feels more real than anything her senses struggle to perceive. when she reaches out to him, she swears she can feel the solid warmth of his organic arm beneath her fingers. does it speed along the process of the relic takeover if she tries to trick herself into thinking it's real? does it really matter at this point?
` and what would a ' good ending ' for them even look like? the end of the relic is the end of ' us. ' the simple little word feels so natural, the loss of it would be worse than just giving in. or maybe that's the destruction of brain function talking. she was always sappier on blood loss.
` " c'mon — you know neither of us are meant for that kinda stuff, " v manages to whisper hoarsely, uncertain whether she thinks or speaks anymore. " but, hey. paint me a picture. what would that look like? "
