[Eighth] Moonrise: Video ⇥ Scar

[beforemoonfall]

[When the feed comes to life, it doesn't show any part of Isa from the neck up and it's lop-sided. Like the person holding it doesn't care. But it's also slightly shaking. Finally, there's a laugh. It's broken, half-mad and pained. That voice is familiar.]H-Heh... I'll... I won't be out and about for awhile. I just... I don't have it in me. Not

[This seriously is a bad thing to see at this hour. Concern rose up in Red's chest, feeling it wrap around him. He found himself silent for the first few moments, but then eventually tried to say something...]

...

. . .

U-um, what... What happened to you? [The sight of such an injury... It's hard to see. But Red really wanted to do something to help this person... Even if they could just talk, at the very least. He must be so scared.]

[beforemoonfall]

H-Haha... Long story. I... I managed to piss someone off enough they decided to carve something into my face.

[pristinestar]

That's not right...!

[Red couldn't help but flatten and smack his hands against the table in front of him. Why did this have to happen to this person? This is such a cruel thing to do... Only someone without a right mind would do such a thing, even if something did happen between them.]

...

[a breath, then lowered his eyes] How is it? Did someone manage to treat your wounds yet?

[beforemoonfall]

...I managed to clean it and bandage it up myself. It... Should be fine.

[The wound should. He's not sure about the rest of him.]

[pristinestar]

... If you're certain. But if you ever need any help, let me know.

[and while they've spoken a few times before, they never really properly met, so...] -I'm Red.

[beforemoonfall]

...Isa.

[All you're getting. Isa's not in the best place right now.]

[pristinestar]

[That's fine, Red understands more than he ever looks right now. He faintly tried to smile, but it quickly faded either way. It's painful to think that he doesn't know what to do.]

... Isa. I'm sorry.

Sorry I'm so slow. ; ;

[beforemoonfall]

...It's all right. It's not your fault.

[It's his own. He let his temper get the better of him.]

Don't worry, you're fine~ ♥

[pristinestar]

[Red quieted a little bit. But after a minute of pause, he decided to send a text message. He's still behind the audio transmission, but he can't find the strength to say it directly.]

I know that you probably don't trust me, Isa, but you're not alone. I know that you definitely have friends that worry for you much more than how I am worrying for you right now

but no one is making you cheer up so soon. if you ever need another shoulder, i'll be glad to be there for you as well. I hope that things look up for you soon. i won't ask what's the matter, but i know that it still hurts. for that, I'm sorry...

since i don't know what happened, I can't say anything. but if you know that you tried to fight for something, then don't doubt yourself for what happened. i know that you can learn something from this, too.. no matter how hard it seems
