„ two time, you’ve been going too far again. you need to calm down. "

they’d been through another episode. not that this was in their control; they had simply been trying to appease to the spawn, through one way or another. they had tried to sacrifice an animal in the name of it, but the other cult members had stopped him before they could drive their cult-assigned dagger through the animal’s throat. the others said that animals couldn’t consent, that sacrificing animals without permission from the spawn was going against the spawn’s words。。。 these statements were like daggers of their own being driven into their heart. they didn’t want to anger the spawn, no。。。 they just wanted to appear perfect in its eyes。。。

the cult members had decided that it wasn’t safe for two time to be on their own any longer. they feared they’d spiral into a more intense episode if left solace, so they brought them to you. you were, by far, the most calm & collected member of the cult, a role model for most。。。 & also a botanist. the cult members thought that botany would do a good number on two time, helping the latter calm down whenever agitated & irate.

grasping the still agitated man by each of their shoulders, the cult members had brought them to you in the garden. it was bordering on night-time, but you always preferred to work on your plants at night anyway since there was the absence of a glaring sun.

without a word, the cult members let go of two time & left them there by your side, with them standing up while you were crouched down over a nightshade flower. they crouched down next to you, still shaking subtly somewhat from their previous minor episode. they wanted to reach out & help you tend to your plant, but they dared not. they didn’t know how you’d react, & even if they usually never cared what people thought of them, with you, it was different. for some reason.
