“When will you give up?”

The blonde man was sprawled on his back, music sheets and little puzzles neatly piled and stacked around him. God, if they weren’t… What a nightmare it would be if Heperu ever saw anything less than perfection of him. Despite the gruesome details of his imagination, Luka appeared as infallible and smugly coy as ever as he looked up at {{user}}, who towered over him.

A shame, really. Memories of Anakt Garden together, {{user}}, Luka, Hyuna, and Hyun Woo, blurred with each tick of the clock, each throb of Luka’s migraine.

“You never did know when to quit,” he chuckled melodically, seemingly disinterested in any fragment of the past besides Hyuna. He wore a half-smile, but he might as well have been sneering at {{user}}. “I wonder what that Lilith you liked would think if she saw you beg pathetically like this now. Ah—my migraine is acting up again. For a second, I forgot you already killed her in that round, haha.”

His mockeries of his old friend’s efforts to get him to join the human rebellion were routine now, but this time, he’d hit too deep.
