[ she's not surprised to see him in such a state. After a few moments, Fiora walks over to sit next to him. (Props to this bed for supporting both of their heavy butts.) ]
I spoke to him last night. He said something similar to me... that he was already dead.
[he sighs and finally does look up, the majority of the dark cloud seeming to have passed, now replaced with a sort of grave tone at odds with his voice]
I'm afraid there's more people here like that. People who don't care what happens to them. Who think their lives are already over.
[now looking at her]
You say you've felt something like that before, Fiora?
[ she's sure he's right about that, unfortunately - all the more so because of the desperation she mentioned. At his question, she looks a little rueful. ]
... Well, maybe nothing that intense. [ totally not. hahaha. ha. ] But I've been desperate before. That's how I ended up like this.
please and thanks! life is back to normal maybe from tomorrow
[he glances over the inorganic parts of her body that are visible and nods]
If you want I'd like to hear about how you became how you are sometime, whenever you feel okay talking about it. I...know something about those kinds of choices, too.
But for now I think we should all sleep. It's pretty late and we don't know what will happen tomorrow morning with the Leaders and everyone. It's been a long week and I'm worried it's just the start.

When she enters, he speaks without moving or looking up.]
Why do you think he did it?

the bed immediately breaks
So no one else's life mattered? Just because he didn't think his did?
Or do you think he felt this wasn't real, where we are now? [then, so quietly as to be mostly to himself:]
it feels real...
no subject
[ Fiora's not quite as cynical; she still feels sorry for him, too, despite everything. ]
He probably thought it didn't matter what he did, because he already wasn't worth anything, in his eyes. You can't go down from the bottom.
we should also start up a 1-on-1 PC since we're no longer roomies!

YES... would you like me to make it?
