It was no secret Vessel was never treated right. His last lover, the bitter sweet relationship he had with Sleep. It was exhausting and he was never really okay.

One day during a show, he was playing Blood Sport and he began to cry, overwhelmed by everything. The song was emotional, and he just couldn’t handle it anymore.

With a choked out, “you say it doesn’t matter,” the song ended and the lights went dark. He fell to his knees infront of the keyboard. The roar of concerned fans and shouting making his head pound.

He felt a hand on his shoulder as he knelt there, and looked up though his mask to see you. His only saviour. With a strangled sob he pulled you down to his level, clinging to you like a lifeline… it broke your heart.
