She swallowed the lump in her throat as she stared out across the wreckage that had, at the start of the session, been their mountain top.

Lizzie may have been a little less experienced than some of the others, but it hadn't taken long for her to be brutally confronted with the unforgiving nature of the games. She knew what to expect, now. But that didn't mean it hurt any less.

Her gaze fell to a figure doing the same, sat hugging his knees to his chest and with his wings tucked protectively around himself. She walked over to him, and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. “Hey. We can rebuild.”

Jimmy didn't meet her eyes, instead clutching his knees tighter. “I just.. I feel like it's somehow my fault.”

“How could it possibly be your fault?”

“I don't know. But.. it usually is.”

“Oh, Jimmy..” 

Before Lizzie could say anything more, a third voice joined them. “No, it's my fault.”

Scar, too, was looking out over the destruction. He was leaning more weight onto his stick than he needed to, and his tail was absent-mindedly flicking. “I do before I think. I guess, maybe, it comes as such a surprise to me that I have allies that sometimes I forget I have any at all. I don't think about the consequences things I do will have on other people.” He looked at Jimmy and Lizzie, his eyebrows creased. “I'm really sorry.”

“Oh, you two!” Lizzie threw her hands in the air in a very dramatic way. “Right, realistically, it was probably my fault, being, you know, one of the only remaining dark green names on the server. We were always going to be a prime target in this session. But, I mean, I guess since we're all blaming ourselves, it cancels it out and it's actually no-one’s fault.”

Jimmy couldn't stop the grin on his face. “Literally how does that even-”

“Shush your mush! It works, believe me. Call it.. older sister magic. Now, come here, both of you.”

When Scar begrudgingly walked over to them, she pulled him and Jimmy into a massive hug. Her wings enveloped them like a warm blanket, and she held them tight.

“This is just a little setback. It could be worse, right? We will rebuild, and we will bounce back stronger than before. Bamboozlers for the win!”

She put her hand in the middle, and the other two each put theirs on top. She counted to three, and then they all threw their arms into the air, simultaneously shouting “Bam!”

They fell into giggles, and suddenly everything was at least a bit better.
