uselessness

[CLOSED to Tobias, and anyone who might pay them a visit... for whatever reason!]

[It was bad enough that Espio saw his own reality collapse as he was dragged out of and thrown into this world. His friends, family, and everyone were all dead, as far as he was aware, and he had no home to return to.

To see it all happening again, however... Time

...Espio.

[Tobias had been watching him for those three days, for sure. He had tried to get his friend to eat something, but without any real luck. Of course, the main problem being that Tobias wasn't sure how to approach this. He had a good idea of what was wrong, but he had never suffered quite like Espio had -- he had lost everything once, yes, but it wasn't the same.

Which is why he's simply fallen into checking on him repeatedly.]

Do you need anything?

[turnip_rage]

[Espio - currently wedged in the corner with a book in his hand - glances up at the voice before turning his attention back to whatever he was reading.]

No.

[heartcorrupt]

[He shifts awkwardly.]

...All right.

[turnip_rage]

You don't need to keep checking on me, anyway. I'm fine.

[This would be one of those times Shadow runs into the Chameleon when he's not holed up in his room. Hell, even Shadow confined himself to his own room. Seeing a version of himself trying to...no, destroying the Special Zone.

So many lives lost.

Didn't the other him know about what Maria wanted him to do? Did he forget?

...did Maria even exist then? No, she had to have been alive, or else he wouldn't be.

So lost in his thoughts, he bumps into someone around his own height. And stares.

Communication issues, indeed.]

...sorry. [Turns to walk away, unsure if he can handle a conversation with the other.]

[Ah, the Hedgehog! Espio still can't help but associate him with the other Shadow, so shoots him what could probably be called a death glare... but his expression softens.

...he did help, after all.]

Oi, Shadow.

[neutralchaotic]

[Pauses in his tracks, not turning around. What this his name being said?]

Hmm?

[turnip_rage]

What are you shuffling around being miserable for? You're not him, remember? Don't let it get stuck on your mind.
