<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
I can't—I won't—I'm not like them. I have to. I have to see.
You can, I just think you should recover first. There's no shame in taking a break.
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
I can't—I won't—I'm not like them. I have to. I have to see.
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
There's too much.
*Squeezes my broken hand, wincing and distracting myself from the stimulus*
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Closes one eye, and keeps the other held open*
Heartbeats. Breath. Blink. Energy. Movement.
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
No...
*Holds my eyes open with my hands, fighting my eyelids trying to close automatically*
Do you... really look like that now?
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
My hand. My face. My face. My face.
*Bites onto my tongue to distract myself*
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Tries to get my breathing under control*
I—Yes.
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Nods, barely visibly*
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Lurches my eyes open, still shimmering and bloodshot, and stares in your direction as if I was looking through you*
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
They— too much!
*Grabs a pair of probes and digs their needlelike points into the soft flesh beneath my eyes*
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Clenches my eyes shut, scratching incessantly at my face*
