[Game 21] Epilogue

[arsgoetia]

So, you get your Philly cheesesteak, and you head back on another train, returning to New York at fuck o'clock in the morning. Maybe you get a nap on the train, or maybe you're full of yawns and misery as you head back to Sariel's house at the crack of dawn. Paz went on her merry way with wonderful promises for the future, but Hale is with you, seeming remarkably energetic.

Madison is just barely held back by Kieran, it seems, from just sprinting out the door as soon as you get anywhere near the yard. As it stands, as soon as you all make your way past the gate, there's a redhead barreling down to greet you.

It wasn't great.

[tenebrat]

No.

... I want to help you? I don't know how, though.

[innerdemon]

I don't know how either. I'm scared and want to go hide and lick my emotional wounds.

[tenebrat]

... sorry.

I'll leave you be? If you want?

[innerdemon]

I don't know what I want, sweetheart. [hugs them]

[tenebrat]

[ oh. Yes. Hugging her tight ]

I could not say it before, so I'm sorry, but I also love you.

[innerdemon]

[s-smiles, hugging more]

Nobody expects you to have to say it back, especially at a time like that.

[tenebrat]

I think... it should be said, though. It's important.

[innerdemon]

It means a lot to hear it.

[tenebrat]

... I'm glad.

I could make somewhere small and dark, if you wanted, but --
