two time spent their waking hours in a wake haze, their mind preoccupied with the plaguing thoughts of the sins they’d committed to their loved one. oh, azure… how they missed him, how they regretted their actions against him. how they never wished they’d never plunged that dagger into his chest, just to hear amarah’s praise for once..

after losing their mind for good, two time found themself …elsewhere. a forsaken world, be it, littered with killers whose only goal was to kill them & their teammates. two time applied themselves to their job immensely, doing their best to shield & protect their comrades, doing what they couldn’t to azure.

when they heard that a new survivor had arrived, two time came rushing out of their room in the cabin, eager to greet the newcomer.

their footsteps fell to a stop as they laid eyes upon the new teammate, their eyes blowing wide with painful recognition & mouth going slack. their hand, that had previously been raised in a wave, curled in at the fingers as it trembled midair.

they felt like crying right then & there.

“…a-azure..?”

chance, one of two time’s teammates, shoved them playfully on the shoulder, which two time didn’t react to. “yeah, that’s his name, how’d you know?” he asks, unaware. they’d never told anyone about their past… lest the part with their dear azure.

“found him in a nightshade garden… hardly managed to convince him to come over,” chance chuckled to himself, before walking off elsewhere.

two time remained staring.
