What else do you have to do? After all of this, it really feels like we'd hit the table by now.

@Techspert

I want to make sure everyone else is on their feet okay. People like your dad, who got hurt.

*Smiles*
Everything's going to be okay. We can build up from here.

@Techspert

We’re resting on a house of cards right now. We can build up, we just have to manage what we have well here, in the early stages. Once everything is stable, I’m done.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Then start thinking with your heart more, dummy. This... this isn't your fault.

@Techspert

It’s…
*Looks down, smiles, then looks back up at you*
I haven’t taken the time to really process it. Look at you. Look at us, together again.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

There's nothing we can change now, and it's not your responsibility to carry that burden.

@Techspert

I… Know that. Logically speaking.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

You're still here. You won. Everyone was willing to give up everything for this, and you were exactly who they needed.

@Techspert

I just wish so many people didn't need to actually give up everything. Even just one less person.
*Sighs*
It could have been much worse, but it's such a weight to feel.

*Furrows my brows*
Why wouldn't they?

@Techspert

I haven't talked to really anyone involved yet, but I was situationally anointed as the one in charge for a lot of it. And we lost a lot of good people, Rhythm...

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Exhales, and my shoulders relax*
Okay... I trust you, you know.

@Techspert

I'm glad you still do. I just hope others do too.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

You have to promise me. Promise me you're not going to give more than you have to give.

@Techspert

I can promise that easy. I never want to be in this position again. So you have my word.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

You have to take care of yourself.
*Buries my head in your shoulder*
Please. Please, please think about yourself.

@Techspert

In a way, I kind of am. I can't sleep well knowing people are still hurting. Help others, help myself, you know?
*Positions you so I can look you in the eyes*
The active danger is over. I can handle being tired, so you don't need to worry about me anymore.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Have you gotten any kind of rest? Or, um... something to eat? Do you have enough air?

@Techspert

Air, fine. I haven't felt hungry and I did try sleeping this off but I can't. People still need help in the aftermath, I just wasn't sure who to go to first.
