At route_29, post will contain spoilers for the latest episode

[wormed]

[[Here is Kariya.

He is screaming his head off and appears to be in agony, tears rolling down his face, seeping from his remaining functional eye as he tears at his hair.]]

Why.....why would you do this?!

[[It's almost like he's just witnessed something terrible, or remembered something that is causing him great pain. Whatever it is, the screaming isn't stopping.]]

I....I....take it away!!! Don't...make me....



[[OOC: Consider him completely updated to events in the anime and the novels; I can't bring him to this canon point without him becoming unplayable in Route, but I'd love to play around with it, so!]]

Comments

[pretentions]

[He's silent for a long moment after that.

And then, seven words.]

Should I feel sympathy for you, Kariya?

[wormed]

[[Eyes wide and staring, Kariya is, at first, completely lost for words at Tokiomi's simple question. Why isn't he angry? Crying? Screaming at him, kicking him punching him attacking him?]]

....I....

[[Sympathy? What....sympathy, he's never...but yes, shouldn't he be sympathised with? He is suffering so badly, all for nothing...nothing...n-nothing....

...and then he realises, he....

...he has nothing any more. Robbed, truly robbed of everything he ever held dear.]]

You....y-you bastard....

[[Look at you, standing there, looking down on him like you're so superior, like you're so fucking superior -]]

I...I don't need...your pity....

[pretentions]

Then stop behaving in such a way. You're practically demanding it at this point.

Get off the ground and compose yourself.

[wormed]

[[Is this the ultimate humiliation? That bastard mage, standing over him and demanding he stands?]]

You can't tell me what to do, Tokiomi....T-Tohsaka!!

[[A quiet irony hits Kariya, then; he would rather crawl here in the dirt like a worm than stand tall in the face of his worst, his worst enemy...

...he laughs, but it doesn't stop more tears from flowing.]]
