Did you know he was around?

Re: Decisions

Yes, but we can't predict what we'll do--he got himself and Cassie beheaded once, he didn't give a damn, so how could we expect this--

Re: Decisions

[ganbareist]

Apparently he gives enough of a damn to pull a stunt like this.

Re: Decisions

[unionoftheheart]

Before, he's always been that way from the start in bad games, I figured Emil was getting strong enough to do them on his own...

[biting his lip hard, curling into himself]

I don't know what he's thinking, not ever. He barely makes sense.

Re: Decisions

[ganbareist]

Shit.

Look. He doesn't have to be your responsibility. But if you don't want it, tell other people.

Re: Decisions

[unionoftheheart]

And what, Emil has to live with nobody trusting him or wanting to be around him ever again? That's his to tell.

Re: Decisions

[ganbareist]

He's not the only person with a split personality around here. In fact, people are pretty damn accommodating to situations like these. Maybe he ought to live with not being the one to place critical pieces while you're not sure how things are going with him. Since his comfort is coming out of Heliodor and Iolite's hide.

[full-body flinch with a little choking noise, scrubbing some wet out of his eyes pretty violently and turning away]

I'm sorry--I can't--I can't fix it--you're right--we're awful, we're always going to be awful no matter how hard we try--

You made a mistake. You can do things to avoid future mistakes.

It's a big one. But people have done much worse. ...What matters most now is what you do now. Don't just give up like that.
