awareness is the enemy of sanity
Finn almost flinches at Remi's words - because damn him if it isn't all true. From their conversations staring into waves, from broken ribs and conversations about the horrors of their upbringing, to their frightening similarities and sweet differences, Finn knows it to be true. And it hurts every time he gets close to it - Remi is a fire that threatens to consume him whole. The worst part is that Finn wants to let him, when his mind isn't trying to eat itself in its madness.
He's clenching his teeth, though it's invisible beneath the thick material of his scarf, and Finn tries to drag his gaze away only to find that he really doesn't have him in it to do that. A shuddering breath leaves him, the Spyglass eventually nodding, as if finally defeated. "Then I will accept the shield," he says, almost whispering the words. "You don't need to tamper with your memories."
