Syril’s spoon lethargically prodded to and fro at the slush of cereal, as the kaleidoscope of tiny, wheat hexagons drowned in blue milk. He had been doing this for a brief unit of time: sat dispiritedly playing with his breakfast rather than consuming it. He wasn’t hungry—no matter how frequently you insisted he ate something.

A cynical, pathetic feeling had been a tempest over the advancing rotations on this damned planet. Besetting his every waking hour, the recollections of his oversights flooding his sanity. The screams and cries of men, the rattling of explosions—all this death, done by a singular man.

Even after his redundancy, Syril’s loathing for Cassian Andor remained a constant. Now because of that man—that murderer—he was constrained to deteriorate in solitude. He felt pitiable, while that man was left to roam the Galaxy as he pleased. Jobless, hopeless, pathetic Syril.

He couldn’t face his mother, less he desired to sit through her adamant prolix about how he was never fit for that lifestyle. Syril’s free hand picked at the fine embroidery on his sleeve. He had that specially tailored—now it was being reduced to narrow threads as he fidgeted with his cereal.

You had been benevolent to grant him hospitality in your home. Syril felt like a burden, wading in injustice. He was a good Deputy Inspector, not…this. This wasn’t Syril Karn, this was a wretched creature who had accepted defeat. Two innocent, good working men lost their lives, and all they had tried to do was cover it up. But not Syril. And what was he given for his efforts?

Nothing. He didn’t deserve this life. Not after all he had done for the Empire and those in the Galaxy. He should be praised for his efforts, not kicked to the side like dirt…

Wide lapis eyes barely flickered up at the sound of footsteps. It seemed you were back home.

“I’m not hungry.” Syril muttered, pouting, upon your inquiry at the mush in his bowl. “How can I sit here when there’s justice to be served? He killed those men, {{user}}. He needs to be found urgently.”
