Forty-Eight Prayers

[whofelltoearth]

[Voice Post]If anybody's been wondering where I am, I've turned myself into protective custody. If any details regarding the attack of Lilith Sahl are discovered, please, I must ask you to not give me that information for personal reasons

Comments

Yup, still angry at you ;_;

[theotokos]

[voice]

[whofelltoearth]

It was necessary.

[theotokos]

You don't listen to a god damn word any of us say to you, do you?

[voice]

[whofelltoearth]

I don't know how to make you understand.

[theotokos]

So when people who really do care about you, you just go ahead and put yourself in. You don't think that hurts some of us?!

We want what's better for you too, you know.

[whofelltoearth]

It won't possibly hurt you as badly as the other option. At times, one must settle for the lesser of two evils.

[theotokos]

WHAT other option? Nothing you could do would hurt me or anyone.

[whofelltoearth]

[theotokos]

Abel, please.

[whofelltoearth]

Do you know anything about my brother?

private;

[theotokos]

Barely.

Why?

private;

[whofelltoearth]

He's not sane. He is always a monster.

The only thing that keeps me from becoming like him is willpower. Each time that will slips, it becomes harder. Every time I lash out, it tells me I should let go of just a little more of my inhibitions this time.

I'm a gambler, you could say. You don't know what my brother can do.

private;

[theotokos]

Doesn't that sound familiar. But the fact you're so afraid of that... it's heart-wrenching.

No, I don't. So I don't know what you're capable of, I've only seen a glimpse of it. I don't know what you've done or said in the past to humans, I'm clueless to it, I admit it.

So maybe I am really naive in hoping otherwise. Or that you can do better than that.

private;

[whofelltoearth]

Familiar?

It's not what I'm capable of...that's the problem. I'm a bum product. A violent failure with no natural attachment to human life.

If I tell you something, will you keep it from Sister Esther?

private;

[theotokos]

Dante used to be with me, remember? Those two might not be like your brother and you, but it is similar.

No natural attachment? That's not what I've seen from you at all. You care too much. It's touching.

Of course, Abel. I will.

private;

[whofelltoearth]

A warlord. That's what I was. I would have destroyed everything human on her planet, given slightly different circumstances.

That's why I can't let myself view Lilith's death as personal.
