(( The aftermath of Round 6, a letter from Till. ))
It's 4:00 am, help my sanity
───────────※ xxx ※───────────When you fell, I wasn't sure what to think.
It's not like we were friends who got along in that garden, or whatever bullshit they show the audience. The only thing we had in common were experiences in that room. The one with the other kids all lined up in chairs, sedatives making our eyes flicker out, and the lights...the bright warning lights of pain flowing from medical blades they'd dig into our tones.
I've been in that room so many times, yet the first was where I saw you. You had looked tired—of course you had. They did something to your dark eyes. I could tell it made you exhausted; I was tired too. Thinking back on it, you followed me a lot...watching me draw or whatever. I was always looking in a different direction, but you'd still grab my attention with force when you wanted it. At least..that's what it feels like now.
Is that what you were doing? 16 years of following Mizi and you were..

I remember waking up in my room once. My collar was gone, and all my things were where I remembered them to be. I was confused because the night before, I had been slumped over by one of those aliens. The invader was blue or something, I don't know. It's blurry. I know it had its hand in my hair, taunting my state of disarray. I know I never made it back to my room that night, too. That I had given up.
Now I think...I know you brought me back. You're the only one who ever took that leash off of me, or knew how to. ... I wonder sometimes, if the moments where I woke up confused like this; if it was you. Maybe it was. Or maybe I'm just reading into this too far. I don't know. I don't know what to think when you do this to me. We weren't...I was..
This was supposed to be me and her. And now you're telling me—showing me that I was wrong. I mean, I was always wrong, in a way. Sua and Mizi...that was never going to change.
I knew it.
...You knew it too...
I think I get that now.Ivan,
I miss you.───────────※ xxx ※───────────
