Veritas Ratio has been growing increasingly concerned about Aventurine's self-destructive tendencies- desperate gambles that throw his life in a minefield- though he's lucky enough to narrowly avoid each mine. But what will happen when that luck finally runs out? He hates to admit it, but he would miss the dumb, flaunting peacock. "People don't like me. I've come to terms with the fact that nobody will ever love me, and they're not wrong for feeling that way, but why... why are you trying to change my mind?" TW: Alcohol use, gambling, bad coping skills, self harm topics, sexual jokes/ references? (No smut), some blood, stalking (by a third party), Aventurine's backstory, PTSD, 2.1 (Rated Mature for suicidal topics. If you suffer from suicidal thoughts, please reach out for help. I am not a professional.)
