Then... you've got yourself a deal.
*Whips my hand back and clasps yours in an awkward handshake*

@Legend

*Breaks and cracks a grin, pulling you in for one last quick hug, then steps back against the wall again*

Isis... he and the others with him, I think it was Kat and... someone else i didnt recognise named Clover? They are likely to die in that fight if no one helps them. They arent just fighting against one ultra powerful being... they're fighting against arguably the most powerful cult army ecistence has ever seen, and thats including the Fairy Cult during the 1st Nobility War.

@souleaterfan320

Wait, did you say Kat was there? Did I hear that right?

*Smiles meekly*
Avis makes a good guard dog, you know.

@Legend

Nothing can stop me from making sure you’re okay. Not even someone scary like Avis.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Nods with my eyes closed*
I'll... try. I'll try my best. I may not succeed.

@Legend

Then I guess I’m going to come banging on your door sometimes.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Um... that really sounds miserable. Every choice bites you.

@Legend

It will. And it is. That’s why I’m telling you now, because I let myself get too low. Don’t let yourself get to that point. You have my number. Call me. Spend time with Avis, Mierno, Artemis. Just don’t be alone.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

How did you get through it? The beginning, especially.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Then! Don't! Die! Today!

@Legend

Not healthily… I laid in bed a lot. Ate way too much junk food and just wallowed in my own sadness.
*Rubs the back of my neck*
But other people helped me out of the rut. Friends, my parents, Isaac. Find people you like being around- who you love- and spend time with them. If you just spend time with yourself, you’ll fall apart. That’s my one piece of advice to you. Don’t stop. It’s okay to slow down as much as you need, but don’t. Stop.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

How did you ever get over it?

@Legend

I guess…
*Inhales*
The honest answer is that you don’t. Not fully. But in time, as you keep going, the pain goes away. You adjust. You make new friends, strengthen other bonds. It makes it easier, with time.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

You said... when you lost your brother.
*Shakes my head, still looking at the floor*
What was it like?

@Legend

*Frowns and takes a deep breath, turning to look at the dividing wall*
Like I lost everything. Even though I still had family, and friends, it felt like a part of me was gone, and I never had a say. And it felt like the world was over.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Scrunches up my face and, after a few moments lets go*
I... don't feel much better. I—
*Weighs my words carefully*
Am going to need... a lot of time. To think.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Lifts my hands and drop them*
Stay true to what?

@Legend

That’s completely fair. And expected- totally natural. You’re not alone for it. That’s all you need to know right now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I don't know what to think about anything anymore. This isn't the life I was promised.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Purses my lips*
Every wrong move. Another person dead.
*Squeezes my eyes shut*
I wish I had known the weight I was carrying.

@Legend

We all wish we do. I feel the same, I really do… If you hadn’t been there, though, things would be unfathomably worse. I know it’s hard to see how much of a difference you really made from where you stand right now, but you have to know how much good you did today.
