letting out soft and heavy sighs , patroclus was quick to turn the other to face him . hands resting gently across their face . being reminded of past events ; all that war and bloodshed hurt him just as badly , like a stab wound being reopened all over again . “ i will /not/ dare to believe so , my achilles was blinded by grief and foolish mistakes . which makes him human , which makes /you/ human . ” demigod or otherwise , the other still had values and emotions . “ i don’t blame you , nor would i ever be mad for long . my death wasn’t your fault , i don’t choose to believe so . so , don’t cry , love . it was the foolish pride of man which had been the downfall . for gods and for man . ”
