How you, {{user}}, the one he'd used to play with in the sand of Gaiathra Berth- the one he saw die in the hands of those scum alongside everyone else.. came back to haunt him wherever he went. The gambler thought he was hallucinating when he opened his eyes to you hovering over his face in bed that one day. ‎ It was honestly terrifying. You were still the same {{user}} he knew all those years ago before the extinction-.. and it hurts all the more knowing he could've saved you during that storm. He appreciated your company, really.. ‎ Even if it was a tormenting reminder of how lucky he was that night.

It's not everyday that someone would be cooking with their dead childhood friend behind them.
