one for sorrow, two for mirth
three for marriage, four for birth
five for the truth and six for lying
seven for sickness, eight for dying
nine for silver, ten for gold
eleven for a secret that shall never be told
twelve for the moon, thirteen for the sky
fourteen for the accursed unable to die
and fifteen for my heart's last desire
a new day's dawn, reborn in fire

i don't talk about it much

[founderinglight]

From the nature of his tirade, he still thinks me some irredeemable bastard who went out of his way to hurt you.

I know it's hard to talk about, but he'd take it from you a hell of a lot better than he would from me.

[burninglight]

not sure if it'll change much

suppose i can at least try

[founderinglight]

Even if it doesn't, I didn't put the truth out there because I wanted it to be some great secret, Ardyn. I wanted it to be known.

[burninglight]

i don't keep secrets from him

it's just not easy to talk about

[founderinglight]

I understand. But if I may be blunt, there's little functional difference between intentionally hiding it and just not talking about it. He's ignorant of it either way.

[burninglight]

yeah, i know

i'll figure it out. so just do me a favor and try to change your approach a little

[founderinglight]

Fuck up but keep trying anyway, right? I'll do my best.

I finished the third trial, so you know. I assume you probably figured after what happened with Junpei, but...

[burninglight]

if it helps to treat him like a pissed-off cat, by all means look at it that way




did you handle it alright, gods know i fucking didn't

[founderinglight]

It wasn't great. But it's hard to handle anything worse than 'panic attack so bad I sent my nephew a distress call with my brain.'

He was dealt a shitty hand. There's no other way of putting it.

[burninglight]

roland's a good person, despite what he'll say to the contrary. at the bare minimum he's a good friend, or always has been to me.

cw mentions of cannibalism

[founderinglight]

I could very much tell.

... It likely says something about the state of our lives that the cannibalism doesn't even bother me, doesn't it.

cw mentions of cannibalism

[burninglight]

i figured that so long as he's not eating anyone important, who am i to judge

probably says more about me than it does you

cw mentions of cannibalism

[founderinglight]

Says the same thing about both of us, probably.

Honestly, if the 3D printed flesh sates the need for him, it wouldn't even be a problem, but I imagine it's somehow more spiritually esoteric than that.

cw mentions of cannibalism

[burninglight]

can't really remember if i asked about the finer points of it, but it's likely something like that.

cw mentions of cannibalism

[founderinglight]

Demons always are, etc.

Hope he's alright.

[burninglight]

was last i knew. should check in on him when i get back
