We all die.
[ he lets himself be hugged. it's nice. he's on his depressed thoughts death spiral, but he can let himself have this tiny sliver of peace despite that. actually you know what
[I know it's hard. I know it is. I've been there. It's going to be okay...]
[He won't detach from the hug just yet.]
We're going to find a way to wrench your memories back from the jaws of this damn place, okay? And give it a good mauling for good measure. We'll do it.
Mandricardo, I don't want you to use more vouchers on me. Giving them up was a choice... I'd rather have most of my vision back instead of memories that this place could manipulate.
[ since he can argue about something now, he seems to be less sad, so that's cool ]
I can see fine. I just can't see colors anymore. It was worse... but that's why I traded. Three of us were nearly blind, and we wouldn't have been able to escape if we all lost our vision.

[Oh, that sure is a leg! That sure is Malik's leg!!!]
[His hand grasps the other's shoulder.]
Hey. Hey, Malik. This place likes to fuck with us. Even if it looked like that goddess or whatever...you're here, now. Your soul is here. Okay?

ok we're back. it seems like some of his emotions came with him this time, and his upset gets more apparent. ]
Only until I die! Then she-- Then that's the end. There's nothing after she eats your heart. There's no afterlife. Nothing.
[ even though he's not being very animated, mandricardo can probably feel him start to tremble. ]

[He's dropping the water bottle so he can embrace Malik, pulling him into a hug.]
You're here. I'm here. You're not dead. I'm here for you. You don't have to worry about that. Just...d-deep breaths, okay?

[You're here. You're here. Not there. You're here.]
[The hug back is a bit surprising, but he won't let go.]
You still have so much to look forward to, okay?

I don't know if it's the same as everyone else who forgot temporarily... [ like lucretia. ]
It was part of the game to make a sacrifice. Since I gave them up willingly, I might not get them back.
no subject
I could use vouchers for that cause.
no subject
You should use your vouchers for something more meaningful. People get hurt here all the time.
no subject
Yeah, but I get vouchers weekly. It's fine.

I...see. Well, if you want your vision back, then...
