Event at Animus and his first death in game.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

I don't want to kill - nor do I want my roommates to sponsor me -- they shouldn't. n-not if they'll suffer too. N-no one should. I'll be fine on my own. I... I've taken worse from Vanitas.

I don't want to die either. N-Not by being snipped. Please - don't do this to me. It's not funny and you should stop laughing, mun.

Ven? [ It all sounds so horrible. :c ]

You've got some good friends. They'll want to be there, no matter what. Even if it's dangerous.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

Ventus. [Not. Ven, why does everyone keep calling him that damnit.]

I don't have friends. Just acquaintances and they shouldn't suffer because of me. It's not fair - they're not in the labyrinth. They shouldn't have to suffer too.

[ex_heartening282]

Oh, sorry about that. [ She frowns. ]

I wouldn't want anyone I know to suffer, either. But if they care about you, they'll want to try their best to help you.

What's happened to get all of you into this mess?

[drknss_bnd_lght]

I don't know. There was a question on the network some time ago that made us answer honestly. Then some time later, I woke up in a new location after being told that I was going to have to kill.

The mun's just been giggling like crazy.

[ex_heartening282]

That's horrible. [ Her frown deepens. ] It's not funny at all.

Ventus... I'm hoping your acquaintances will be okay. Let's have faith in them. It'll make your heart even stronger.

[ She has a thought. ] Were you alone when you woke up in the new location?

[drknss_bnd_lght]

...I've had worse.

[A nod. He's... not really sure how to react to hoping that they'd be ok - or that he should have faith in them. The only person he has faith in...is his Vanitas, due to AU circumstances that broke him.] ..I see.

Yea. I was but it's not important.

[ex_heartening282]

[ That's upsetting to hear. She wants to help, but she isn't sure how. She isn't sure a hug will be well received. ]

Listen. Your heart's bonded to so many others, and they help you stay strong. Being alone doesn't affect that because we're there with you no matter where or when. But it can be hard.

[ She's been without her boys for a long while. Not completely alone, but she'd been lonely. And that's not a nice feeling. So she wants to make it clear that she's here for him, and won't abandon him. ]

Can you have a little faith in us? I'm not sure what's happened to you... but you can believe me.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

..My heart is my own. It's not bound to anyone else. [Sob, brainbreak will come when he learns the truth about his Vanitas.] Even if it was, I don't need them. I'm strong on my own. I won't have faith in what will only betray me in the end. It's pointless.

[ex_heartening282]

[ And she can only stare at him in shock. ]

What happened to make you think this way?

[drknss_bnd_lght]

My so called friends abandoned me to the darkness.

[So. Much. Bitterness.]
