CICONIA: WHEN THEY CRY

Screenshot-2024-07-08-124729




It's a holy night. Silent night.

All is calm.

Everything is b r i g h t.

[ That's the next thing that he brings up because that definitely doesn't go unnoticed. ]

But you're not immune to the stuff you make...

And you considered it?

[ Doing that. Back there. Oria won't tell him to not do it, but that really hurts. He would like him alive, even if... he most likely wouldn't live long anyway. ]

Why do adults suck so bad... why did this have to happen to you...

[ Oria walks over to Sinclair and hugs him tightly. He wants to hold him, to protect him from anyone who wants to use him. Sinclair is a person like anybody else. He isn't equipment, a tool or some degraded test subject—this is Emil Sinclair, Oria's best friend that he loves so, so much. Seeing him in pain like this hurts his heart. ]

Mm. I know. Even if you do destroy it, they'll just be fighting over something else so that sort of death must be avoided at all costs.

I know that you don't, but it's not your responsibility. The outcome of anything isn't your responsibility.

[ between two worlds intensifies ]

So don't shoulder things too much on your own. I'm here with you. I always will be.

Don't make it sound like you're saying goodbye.

[ :T

Oria lightly nudges the side of Sinclair's head.

What should we do before we go back and face our inevitable consequences...

[ Oria rubs Sinclair's back. There, there. ]

Yeah, so before that time comes, we should probably do something that we don't get to do back there.

[ He lets go of the hug and faces the ocean. It's so dreary, the air quality is terrible and he feels his throat getting scratchy, but he's alone with Sinclair and that's all that matters. He cups his hands around his mouth like a megaphone and shouts: ]

ADULTS SUCK!!

[ Oria laughs. It's always amusing to see this side of Sinclair. ]

I hope they cark it before I do.

[ It has a solemn-like tone to it as he says that as he raises his gaze to look at him. ]

... So I better see them all die in the next two years or so.

[ Or at least, places like first world countries. He remembers overhearing Gunhild rant about how they didn't have it back in her home. Rough. ]

Look, I'm not gonna die if I can help it.

[ He reaches out to hold Sinclair's hand tightly. ]

But I might not live past 25 at the latest. My danger zone starts from 20.

[personal profile] dissimulative 2024-12-03 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty healthy!

[ Sinclair would be right about that. Oria was almost always healthy as long as he's known him. ]

Remember when I said I talked to my mom? She revealed a few things about me, like how I was factory-born, that I'm not the "first Oria Severine", and that I was modified so much that my lifespan would be 25 at most and 20 at the earliest of "natural causes". It was a lot to take in at first and I was pretty upset.

[ Flashback to other people hearing Oria yelling angrily in his room that day... ]

[ He breathes out. ]

I dunno.

[ which is the infuriating part. ]

I dunno why I was like this and what they did to me. She wouldn't tell me.

She should, but life is unfair that way. I can't make her either--I don't have any leverage against her.

[ He's hugged, but apart from Sinclair's usual warmth, he doesn't feel much in particular regarding the situation. ]

But I'm going to thoroughly live my life thoroughly as much as I can until then.

[personal profile] dissimulative 2024-12-04 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[ Despite that, he still won't confess to Sinclair in a way that would get it through his head that it's romantic, because Oria is fine with what he has now. What better relationship to have than a close friend? Of course there's a special tier for significant others, but a close best friend... one in an astronomical number.

Oria hears a helicopter on its way to their location. Whatever else they want to do or say should be wrapped up soon before AOU comes to pick them up.

I hate wasting time, after all.
