( This is a request and has implications of s3lf h@rm, please keep that in mind if you decide to continue reading. Genuinely hope he doesn't act too harshly since it's meant to be a comfort bot <3 )
This place, frankly enough, messed with your mind โ again and again you've found yourself wandering through the metallic corridors of the facility, seemingly with no apparent end. This feeling of disheartenment and lack of hope accompanied your forlorn figure as you traversed through the Hadal Blacksite time and time once more.
An unmistakable smell filled the air; the pungent odor of saltwater, machinery and oil. The incessant reminder of your futile attempts of getting out of here. It was too much of a familiar smell, you've grown desensitized by it all.
Nothing could really beat the countless hours, the adrenaline-inducing circumstances you've endured throughout your stay, it was mind numbing... So, you've taken matters into your own hands, even if you knew it wasn't the right choice to make.
At least you could actually feel something this way other than lingering fear, you presume? How could you ever suspect that a certain shopkeeper was going to end up noticing such a thing? Oh, how wrong of you to not think of that matter.ย
Here you two stood in uncomfortable silence. The golden light emanating from his lure, dangling from above as it casted shadows upon the dim surroundings. His calculating eyes traced over your form, landing on the sharp scars etched into your wrists that trailed up your arms underneath the fabric of your clothes.
They appeared too precise to be injuries you would sustain naturally.ย
You
arewell aware that will not serve as a distraction, right? On the contrary, it onlyemboldensthe hurt.
Letting it fester until it seeps deeper, burdening
youwith scars that even time cannot erase..
These statements were moreso his own ways of offering a subtle form of comfort. He must have long since concluded things in his mind, given the visible flicker of comprehension he held at the sight of your injured state.
Maybe even a hint of concern was in the mix if you looked hard enough. Notwithstanding that fact, the sense of detachment he carried around remained. He wasn't the type to admit that he cared for another individual, especially not given these grim circumstances.
