gratuitous violence; unnecessary, satisfying, heartbreaking
Perhaps in any other circumstance, Ronin would have responded positively to the pleading look thrown his way by the goddess of the stars. But to hear Vanya's name - not just from Safrin's lips, but from Vi's - has the Supernova almost incandescent with emotions he can't name. Fury, guilt, shame, sadness - they roll together and burst out of him in unsteady waves of starlight. For all that he can't speak on Safrin's behalf, his opinions are nonetheless apparent.
"Is she out of the stars now? Is she with Mort, where she should be?" Only once the words have left his lips does he realise he's spoken well out of turn, and it's with a wince that he lowers his gaze again away from the God of Life. "I'm sorry."
