nomadicflame: (a necessary severity)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
If I could have a headache, you would have given me one ten times over.

Torpor would be preferable to this.
nomadicflame: (nell inferna)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Just tell me one thing.

Did any of it matter?
nomadicflame: (to founder on the lethe)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
The game. I know you remember.
surgicalcynicism: (Gameface)

[personal profile] surgicalcynicism 2026-01-31 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I remember borderland. And I remember you

Was it a dream?
nomadicflame: (in memoriam)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
If it was, it was one we dreamed together.

I was there with you. I held you. It felt real.
surgicalcynicism: (Gameface)

[personal profile] surgicalcynicism 2026-01-31 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It felt like borderland

Last time I went, I die. I'm not dead now

Did you read my mind or invade my dreams?
nomadicflame: (sealed under seven signs)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I did neither.

I was there with you. I do not know how.
surgicalcynicism: (Gameface)

[personal profile] surgicalcynicism 2026-01-31 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That is unsettling

That it happened for no predictable reason

I know. I remember you there
nomadicflame: (between breath and ash)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Now you know why I was upset with you.
surgicalcynicism: (Gameface)

[personal profile] surgicalcynicism 2026-01-31 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't bring you to borderland
nomadicflame: (a civility of teeth)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
You used me. And left me.
surgicalcynicism: (Gameface)

[personal profile] surgicalcynicism 2026-01-31 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that what you remember happening
nomadicflame: (errors of transmission)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Clearly.

You told me that you play or you die. And you left me like I was nothing.

Was any of it real, Chishiya? Did I mean anything to you, even for a moment?
surgicalcynicism: (Gameface)

[personal profile] surgicalcynicism 2026-01-31 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Where?

Here or in borderland?
nomadicflame: (between breath and ash)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Anywhere.

What am I to you?
surgicalcynicism: (hidden)

[personal profile] surgicalcynicism 2026-01-31 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a difference

Mind-blower
nomadicflame: (in memoriam)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Why is there a difference?

You will only love me when a game demands it?
surgicalcynicism: (hidden)

[personal profile] surgicalcynicism 2026-01-31 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
In borderland you win or you die. And there is nothing I wouldn't have done there, to get back home. In borderland, there is no choice. Not for anyone

Is that what this is. You love me?
nomadicflame: (a favor from the dead)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I have inconvenient feelings for you.

I do not know if it is love.

But it makes my life difficult.

And after... Being with you... It is even more difficult.
surgicalcynicism: (hidden)

[personal profile] surgicalcynicism 2026-01-31 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
And yet you demand love from me

Words are cheap. I trust actions, you should try it
nomadicflame: (the dutiful beloved)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Your action was to leave me.

That is all I know right now.

How am I supposed to feel?
surgicalcynicism: (hidden)

[personal profile] surgicalcynicism 2026-01-31 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
If that is the action you remember, then that's what happened

I don't know
nomadicflame: (the courteous monster)

[personal profile] nomadicflame 2026-01-31 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I remember more. How you touched me before that. The way you looked at me, the way you kissed me.

But I do not know if you meant any of it or if you were only trying to survive.
