† Tre; Accidental Video

[fettuttittes]

[While she's been seeing corpses all day, Romana's managed to keep herself together. Romano and others around 303 Horton Lane are probably woken with a shriek as Romana wakes to find her grandmother's body next to her, the older woman's throat slit. The corpse disappears at the noise but the image stays firm in her mind, too similar to the actual

Chiara...

[fettuttittes]

Please, please, wake up, please, I know you can, don't do this, please, wake up, wake up, wake up. [Sobs softly, the sound more broken as she hides her face in her sister's unbound hair, shaking as she cries]

[fierybluebird]

Romana...

[fettuttittes]

[Somehow, she manages to hear him, her body shaking as she forces herself to go silent, her grip tightening] M-Marco... please. Just turn it off. Please. I-I can't...

[fierybluebird]

I'll close my eyes if you close yours. That thing... it's not her. No more than the double that stole people's skins here. I swear it.

[fettuttittes]

No. No. I can't turn away, she needs me, she needs to wake up. I-If I look away, I can't... I can't save her. [Presses her cheek to the top of Venezia's head, shaking as she tries to hold onto her sobs]

[fierybluebird]

[Blocks his face with an arm, like a bird hiding in a wing.]

Romana... It's not really her. It's not.

[fettuttittes]

[Her eyes do shut, but her grip stays, Romana rocking the body as she croons to it softly, before snapping sharply at Marco]

Taci. Taci, shut up. Shut up and let... let me fix her...

[fierybluebird]

You can't. [His voice is really broken now.] It doesn't work like that.

[fettuttittes]

I can! I can , I have to- [Her voice cracks, her shoulder hunching] She... I was supposed to protect her...

[fierybluebird]

You can still protect her... just not this farce, eh.

[fettuttittes]

Shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up! [The words come out before Romana can catch them, and while she doesn't really mean them, she doesn't take them back.]

[fierybluebird]

Chiara... Would she want you this upset over make believe?

[fettuttittes]

Don't call me that. [It stings too much right now, what with Venezia being the only nation who used that name. And like usual she ignores him, only hearing what she wants to]

[fierybluebird]

[Sighs.]

As you wish. But I'm still worried for you nonetheless, eh?

[fettuttittes]

[She hears that sigh, her body shuddering in response]

Do what you must. I... I will... care more later, Marco...
