"The Edge --- there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over."
He knows. That’s why he made that decision in the first place.
There’s still a soft sigh.
❝— Get out of my house.❞
He should be happy. Happy that this guy would be nowhere near the child. But he just— wasn’t. Not yet.
“ —-…”
Steps forward were taken, eyes finally locking with the males.
“I’m going to say this and only say it once. I don’t give a flying rat’s ass who you think you are. I couldn’t care less if they call you the star eater.
Let me find out that you’ve made my sister’s life a living hell because of your fucked up issues and whatever else is going on in your crappy life and I swear to the stars, oblivion itself won’t be able to stop me.
And if you take me down— I’m taking you down with me.”
With that— he could only scoff as he turned on his heel and began to walk away.
She listens to his explanation and finds herself briefly unsure what to say.
There was no way to state that she knew exactly how that goes — but one could definitively say that she was slated to inevitably lose her own mind completely. A fracture that wasn’t really fixable.
And all it did was spread, expand.
❝If this is sharing time… well, uh…❞
There’s a wariness evident in her tone as her eyes shift over his visage.
❝—- … I’m Consequence, like the embodiment of it…❞
He listened to her story— or moreso, her admittance and suddenly he knew there was someone else out there who knew and probably even understood his own struggle.
she was the very embodiment of something he knew would come— the outcome of his life and what’s been done. she was what decided if he became dark and empty like arthur or if he became a neutron star, innocent and pure.
“wow—- that sucks.” a smile followed next though.
"a ideology of outcomes and a star who’s next on the list to go poof.“
a hand grabbed hold of his glass, raising it into the air.
More often than not when people knew who she was? She was the point of blame for their plights and she was used to it — no matter how much it actually did annoy her. An idle wonder of what he might feel upon knowing crept into her mind.
❝I know that feeling, all too well…❞ A soft pause.
❝—- are you sick?❞
"i’m sure you’ll be fine.“
Now that he thought about it— he had no clue who she really was. He felt a major power within her but that was the extent of it. On the flip side, he doubt that she knew what and who he was— other than the fact that they hooked up before.
"Not so much.” And a gulp follows.
"I’m a star— i’m sure you knew that. but i’m a supergiant. meaning, i’m slated to you know– boom.“
❝Admittedly, I’m not the best one to help you there, my friend Gale might be a better for that.❞
Oddly enough, that had her smiling a little bit whether he’d meant it for a joke or not; it amused her no less. Connor was never really one to bring up her sorrows with any soul — no matter who they were.
❝You’ve no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into with me; running is honestly your best bet.❞
She was a mess, at best.
"i’d rather learn from you—“
He was someone that tried not to look at the bad of any situation – even the one he himself was in. He went with this flow and so far, it seemed to work.
"I’m a ticking timebomb. I think I can handle it.”
