You stumbled back, snapping back to reality as you came to a conclusion.
"Y/N? Y/N!" Ajax hurriedly came to you, grabbing you before you could fall back completely.
Time seemed to halt as the situation seemed to worsen with each moment that passed.
You regained your senses quickly, your balance returning as you brushed off Ajax's grasp on you, "We have to go. Now." You sped past him in an attempt to keep yourself calm.
"Y/N, wait- Tell me what's happening!" Ajax raised his voice slightly, causing you to stop.
"You don't need to know." You said, unintentionally harsh. If you told him any more, you were afraid you would only burden him.
"Stop shouldering it all by yourself, Y/N." Ajax turned to you, his voice assertive yet with a hint of concern. "Tell me, what's going on with you?"
You hesitated for a moment, deciding whether to tell him your worries or not.
Your eyes met his. The moment they did, you could feel the divide between the both of you beginning to crumble. Was it... okay to tell him your troubles?
You bit your bottom lip out of nervousness before speaking softly, "...He must think I'm dead."
Ajax had a worried expression on his face as he listened closely, not bothering to speak until you were done.
As if that was the cue, countless words continued to fall out of your mouth.
"Ajax... Scaramouche thinks I'm dead!" You let out a strained shout, "He- What- What if he thinks I left him?!"
"How could I tell him that he's worthy because of those who love him, and then die in his eyes?!" You screamed, avoiding eye contact as you looked down, "Ajax... he's like a father to me. I didn't- I didn't want him to feel like he's worthless! Yet, that's exactly what I'm making him feel like! Why... why do I always hurt the people I love?"
You recalled your past life.
"Your existence only brings pain. If only you weren't born, then everyone would be happier."
"If only I never existed... if only I had never been born..." You murmured, "I'm useless. I'm a useless, stupid child that can never do anything right."
It went quiet as you were breathing heavily.
Just then, you felt a hand grab your wrist.
"How would Scaramouche react if he heard what you said?" Ajax spoke lightly, surprising you as you looked up.
"You dream of reuniting with Scaramouche?" Ajax asked you, and in response you nodded slowly.
"Then, I'll defend your dream until you do."
Your eyes widened as he said that, and in the process he gave you a confident smirk.
You felt your heart skip a beat, however it was only for a moment as he suddenly pulled you along as he ran.
