Tired and sleepy you shifted in your makeshift bed. You couldn’t stop thinking about Sam, who had passed out from losing Ogre. Losing Ogre. Tomoha’s horror- Rayne missing- everything pounded in your head. You’re useless- you lying piece of shit. You have don’t nothing but hurt These people who you have grown to love. Love. Why can you of all people Love? After everything? Is it even love. The attraction you feel toward Kenny- is it even attraction- do you really care? The world seems to crash around you. You’re not even tired anymore. Restless and useless and alone. You sit up, your head aching. Swarming thoughts hit your mind- every interaction you’ve ever had and your breathing speeds up- is it just your thoughts? Tricking you into thinking that your heart is beating to fast for your breathing to catch up? You keep trying but you’re getting nowhere. Does Kenny even care about you? Does Tomoha? Does Samuel? Too loud- too much- someone else turns to you and you freeze. It hurts- everything hurts, don’t look at me- don’t- kenny heard ragged gasps for air- he turned and looked at the person he cared about the most in the world. Not prepared to see them holding back tears. A nightmare maybe?
