I'm not alive.
I'm not dead either.
I'm not even human.
I get showered in these gifts and I don't feel anything. I can't feel anything. I eat even though I'm not hungry, I'll never be hungry..I'll never be full.
What am I?
Who am I?
Am I anything?
No one understands how I feel. Not until Dottore showed up, he made me feel like I could stop acting. I felt like a human, I felt free and alive. He made me feel this, no one else. His words, oh his comforting words..he made me human.
-
"Dottore." Valentin began, "Yes?" Dottore stared at the sunset with Valentin sitting next to him. "Thank you, for making me feel human." He said with a slight smile, "Human? You are not even close to human." Dottore spoke in a stern voice, making Valentin's heart ache.
"Being human is being alive, you are not alive." Dottore said.
"What am I then?" The slight panic in his voice made it crack.
"You're nothing. Neither human or
the deceased," Dottore stood up, he sounded wise..Valentin envied him because of that.
"If I can't be human, I'll become the deceased." Valentin made it sound like child's play.
Dottore side eyed Valentin with a small smirk flooding his lips.
"Killing yourself proves that you are human, at least that's what I believe." Dottore turned to him.
"But coming with me proves that you can be human without assassinating yourself." Dottore gestured his hand out, "What say you, ready to be human?".
Valentin gazed at his hand, he trusted him. Dottore seemed to want Valentin to be human, he couldn't refuse this offer.
Meeting eyes with Dottore once again he shook his hand, agreeing he would come with him to wherever.
That same day is when Khaenri'ah burned down.
-
"It's beautiful." Valentin felt the heat of the fire burn his cheeks, his eyes glued to the burning forest.
"MOM!" He heard someone yell from the other side.
"What was that?" Valentin's feet crunched as he treaded on the snow. "Was that a boy?" Valentin turned back to Dottore, "It doesn't matter, all that matters is that you got to see the place preventing you from becoming human burn down." Dottore closed his eyes and breathed in then out.
"We should go, we still have a long way to drive until we get to Toska Town." Dottore opened his eyes slowly and then began walking over to his black car, Valentin glanced back at the forest before he went in the car with Dottore.
