[ this week has been something. not exactly something good for either of them. ]

...

Yes, I think you do. But I doubt what happened would've changed the outcome of everything.

[ ... he doesn't really want to say the words out loud, because it makes them feel very real in and way that makes his skin crawl, but: ]

We lost her as soon as she was possessed. She didn't want to be revived.

[ it... made sense. truly. even if it had sucked to hear directly from karlach herself. ] I don't think a lot of you realised how much pressure you put her under, because she's good at soldiering through.

[ it's not a personal attack, just an observation. things that he observed over the past few weeks. ]

[ he purses his mouth slightly. ]

Someone told her, after Aerith died, that she was the last remaining light here. [ it's a good thing it's not emotionshare week because BOY does he have feelings about that. ]

I suppose they meant well, but I'd have preferred if they just kept their opinion to themselves.

[ because that was the whole deal! karlach being karlach and everyone accepting it and leaning on her without thinking. ]

She and Rondo were as good as the same person, even if he was a bit evasive about admitting it. Or just didn't understand what I was getting at. Cruel, really.

Yes, well. I suspect they didn’t think they were putting that pressure on her, but I’m not sure how it could’ve been seen any other way.

[ the less said about it the better. he can only fume so many times a day after all. ]

Older. More experience. Shittier hand in life, and I will say that with confidence. It’s hardly a contest though, but it does change you. There’s a saying about checking on the friends who seem fine, but I’m not sure how many people know that.

[ … he sighs. ]

Yes, it seems that way doesn’t it. Perhaps not quite gone, but somewhere inbetween where they can be drawn back from. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve made use of a place like that. [ of course… they had a mysterious wraith helping them, but he suspects withers would have been as helpless as them here, so there’s little point in wistfully considering all he could’ve done. ]
