It is my understanding that we were gathered to function as a team. A concept that is, perhaps, difficult for many of us to become accustomed to, but a path we have had no choice but to take in any case.

Yet here we are, already faced with danger enough from our missions, and we are equally forced to fear one of our own as well?

Explain to me why we should endure the presence of a monster who cannot keep his nature in check. How many were injured by Koltira's hand, yet all of us remain silent.

This isn't that kind of anger, bro.

[Asher, you're still on voice. Don't gesture to your face as if he can see you???]

Anyone with eyes could see that.

[whatshimadayou]

Then you know it is a personal affair.

[moneyballer]

[There's a sound that comes from deep within his throat, a gruff and oddly masculine affirmation of that sentiment.]

Take some time to cool off, maybe.

Whoever it was who was hurt...

Are they okay, now?

[whatshimadayou]

...Yes. He is recovering.

He has always been resilient.

[moneyballer]

Was it your brother?

[whatshimadayou]

...Yes.

[moneyballer]

[Now the indignant tone returns.]

Then maybe you should go spend some time with him.

[Because if that kind of near-death experience wasn't a way of confirming that life doesn't last forever...]

God!

[On his end, things are starting to sound a little different.

Like he's having trouble speaking, even though his voice is getting louder.]

Don't you realize how lucky you are? You literally did the worst thing possible, and he still cares enough about you to forgive you!

Do you know how many people would kill for a chance to be accepted like that?

[whatshimadayou]

I am well aware. I have told him his foolishness.

I take it there is someone you are referring to. [cuz it wasn't subtle my dude]

[moneyballer]

Foolish or not, you were the one who fucked him up.

[yeah he's gonna straight up ignore that last question lalskdjf]

So he's the one who gets to decide what you deserve. Maybe it's time for you to accept that.

[whatshimadayou]

Perhaps, better, it is one day he realizes that nothing will be healed as it was. This is not a story.

It is our lives.

[oh he notices that]

[moneyballer]

But you've been given the chance to live it-

[Asher stops mid-sentence, feeling defeated.

Naive as he is, he has the need to say one more thing before the feed cuts out.]

You really are the worst.
