Whoa, you let your feet run wild
Time has come as we all go down
Where do you fall?
He wanted to fall now. He wanted to flicker and be discarded into tiny pieces, smashed against the surface of the earth, where everything would no longer hurt.
Instead, he sat, feeling the ground move underneath him, the twist and turns of his actions driven back to haunt him. “Yes. I did not want it to go to waste. In case – ,” In case it would be necessary down the line.
In case the Ascended, and the Voice, did become an issue.
“If the Ascended did not want to fight the monsters. Or if Ludo allows me to complete Kiada’s quest.” The grass felt like a thousand whispers beneath him, each one displeased. A buzzing. A droning. Stitching of fates. “Yes.” He’d taken the consequences last time, and he’d paid for it dearly too. His hands had always been covered in blood. They held his head now, as it screeched in agony, as Penumbras slid their daggers into his ribs.
“I can hide it.” Where no one else would see or find or know about it.

Yeah but for the fall—oh, my—
Do you dare to look them right in the eyes?
