NOE
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
Or it's gonna go down in flames
As a wisp of light appeared next to the Ancient in the tree, something in Noe softened. She'd seen will-o-wisps before, on her trips here with Sohalia. But she'd never seen one bonded to someone. This one sounded awfully disgruntled as it zoomed up to its bonded, drawing the faintest of smiles to Noe's face.
But she was getting distracted. The Ancient - Maea - had asked her a question.
Hugging herself around her middle, Noe swallowed hard. She didn't like seeing infected people, and she hadn't really talked about what they looked like before. Not even with Koa. "It... was his face," she whispered after a moment. Then, clearing her throat, she forced herself to speak up. "I was a Friend of the Family, and now that I'm cured, I guess I can... see what they really are. And their effect on others. Infected people have, like... too many eyes, and tentacles where their faces should be, and they look purple tinged."
The girl shuddered. Then she peered up at Maea, softening. "I'm sorry about your friend. Is that why you're out here? Are you trying to cure him?"

You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
If the high was worth the pain
