The story of all his lives, isn't it? Once, he'd been grateful, albeit burdened by guilt and haunted by the shadows of those he'd left behind. He'd been filled with regret over the things he'd never be able to do. He'd wanted to live, even if it felt selfish to move forward--to savor the present and reach for the future, grasping the end of that thread even if it meant cutting his fingers on the scissor's blade.
Now, survival feels like a curse. Sheba's blood stains his hand, and Dahut's, their cold bodies lying in the room beside him. He'd had enough of himself left to position them gently, side by side, their hands folded over their chests and their eyes closed, unless they get beheaded or something, which would be super awkward--and all he can think is that he hopes this is their last life. That they have no new vessels. That they can finally rest. It is the only thing preventing him from breaking completely.
I forgot about Scien. I guess he was nice to him too.
