You couldn't sleep that night... You woke up halfway through the night and went to the roof again, finding Diane and king talking.
"Uh- oh I didn't mean to interrupt!" You said attempting to leave.
"No! You're not interrupting anything!" Diane smiled.
"....The demon blood ruined my weapon." You said. "I burned it."
"Maybe we could make you a new weapon!!" King said happily. You paused going to say something but decided against it.
"How did Meliodas decide your sins? They seem slightly inaccurate." You mumbled.
"What do you mean?" King asked.
"Goather is the sin of lust... I expected someone with the persona of meliodas, with the sin of sloth I expected someone lazy and tired all the time... With the sin of envy I was expecting someone whiny and crude... You all are none of those." You sighed.
"You didn't mention ban." King said.
"Ban's fits." You said. "What would you say is the worst enemy of greed?"
"The police?" Diane said.
"Grief." King answered.
"...Guilt." you muttered. "If I had to pick a sin to suit me, it would be guilt..."
"Why?! You're such a nice person! I've never seen you do anything bad even when possessed by a demon!!" King debated.
"Guilt has nothing to do with being bad... You can feel guilty for other's wrong doings, or for losing your memory, or for existing." You explained.
"....Don't feel guilty!! None of that is your fault!!" Diane smiled. "Seriously you're an amazing person!" She went to pat your head but you flinched away. You noticed it yourself and then Diane and king noticed it.
"Uh.. y/n..." Diane asked. You breathed shakily.
"I-i'm so sorry! I'm not scared of you I guess I just don't like sudden movements!" You said. "It's a bad habi-" you felt king's arms wrap around you. Your face flushed bright red and you saw Diane give a little smile and laugh.
"You two are adorable!" She smiled. Your heart broke for king. Guilt flooded back despite being told not to feel guilty.
"King let go." You mumbled.
"Nope, I want cuddles." King almost ordered.
"No, I'm gonna go to bed!" You said moving away from him. "I'm sorry, I'm just... Not in the best state of mind to do anything other than be a burden.."
"Y/n-"
"I'm weak.... And pitiful, I am and should look worthless in the eyes of anyone strong." You sighed.
"Don't say that! You helped us save liones!" King said.
"THAT WASN'T ME!!" You shouted. You hadn't taken the time to recognize the relentless tears streaming down your face. ".....goodnight."
You hopped off the roof and begun your way into the boar hat when you recognized the silhouette of your brother in front of the door, the small glimpses of lights peaking out of the door behind him, Meliodas sitting on the window ceil and Elizabeth next to him. You began to notice the oddities around you. Random glass scattered on the ground, broken trees... And a raven that landed next to your foot flying up to your arm. You paused.
"....What are we going to do with you?" Ban laughed slightly. "You're a disaster sometimes sis." You set the raven down and walked away but it followed you.
"Why is this happening?! I just wanna sleep!" You said laying down on the ground as the bird perched on your stomach pecking at your head.
"You're right y/n." Meliodas said. "Your sin would be guilt... Selflessness as well." He helped you up. "You're too afraid to think for yourself, so you act on impulse of those emotions around you, when your brother steals you react by running or yelling at him because you find it to be wrong, if he were to lose something or someone he cared about, you'd cry and comfort him, even if you were also emotionally attached to that something or someone, because you run off of not your own emotions, but others which is why you struggle to define your person."
You felt oddly offended by his definition... But he was right. Wasn't that what you just did for king? Then how did you help Diane in that situation... You only made her feel bad because of your own emotions. How is that supposed to help anything? You felt pain in your cheek.
"You're doing it again! You're over processing things!" Ban said. You realized soon after that he had slapped you. Your eyebrows furrowed. You picked up your bag which you had purposely left on the porch. You broke a branch off a tree and took out your switchblade beginning to carve it. "What are you doing?"
"I'm carving a new weapon.... My blood ruined my blade... I need a temporary replacement before I can get the proper metals to make a new weapon... Or else this will happen again.. that would be bad." You said.
"How did this happen?" Elizabeth asked.
"Override of emotions... I was feeling guilt, happiness, and anger all at once... It caused me to panic, and release an outburst of energy, which I normally would use on an enemy or while hunting, but since it's been two days that I was recharging that energy the emotions triggered it rather easily." You shrugged.
"Anger, joy and guilt?" Ban asked. "How do you even do that?"
"You feel joyful about one thing, realize that you shouldn't feel happy about that so feel guilty, and then get angry at yourself to the point it's no longer guilt but rage." You explained sanding the branch.
"Y/n the raven sin of guilt." Meliodas smiled. You paused your sharpening.
"Nope, don't do that." You said.
"Hmm? Why not?" Meliodas asked.
"I plan on leaving soon... I need more materials... I would rather not have a title given to me by the captain of sins, it makes me feel more at home." You smiled at the branch.
"No!" King shouted out. You looked up at him and he suddenly looked embarrassed. "You aren't allowed to leave y/n! We need you here! You've helped us out a lot! And you have resources that we don't! So please don't leave!" Your face flushed slightly.
"King, you might've been the only person that could talk her into staying, thank you for saying that!" Ban smiled. You paused.
"I still need materials... But I'll come back ok? Does that sound fair?" You asked.
"....Ok." king nodded. You gave a weak smile.
"For now I need sleep.."
