Yeah, I can't stick to commitments. I got tempted.

I dashed over to Ruce. I kneeled down beside him along with Komi and Usu.

"Why are you just sitting there? Get out a potion or something!" I blasted at them, but they only looked straight back at me with sad, glassy eyes. "Don't tell me... You didn't bring any potions?" I asked, venom seeping through my voice. I looked down at the floor, which seemed like a mirror. My eyes bubbled with rage and fear, and tears began to form and streak my face with glossy wetness.

They looked back down at the dyeing, smiling Ruce. Why is he smiling? I wondered to myself. Snapping out of my time-wasting trance, I quickly swiped down my menu. In my panic, I forgot where the inventory slot was. I shook my hands about, worrying and silently swearing at myself. I finally navigated my way to the inventory and swiped out a healing potion.

"Okay, Ru-" I stopped. When I looked up once more, the uncapped potion in my sweating hand, nothing was there, and the last of the blue triangles were fading away. I could finally hear Usu and Komi weeping. Letting the tears glide down my cheeks, I walked over to where Soiberu lay, still alive and slightly flourishing.

I could care less for him, I snipped in my head. With that single, demonic thought, I put the potion away.
