〝I will be fine. I will... find a way to fix it.〞He wished his sister were here.
Wished she could help him create a new one that might work better.
But he couldn't reach her, he was too far and the voice... It was talking more. Saying things.
He didn't want her to see that.
〝...〞He listened.
Part of him wanted to ignore her words and focus on their current task, to just block everything out and move on.
But he didn't.
He couldn't.
The small voice in the back of his head was there telling him it'd be wrong to.
of to always smell so sweet. But. . .they’re a source of comfort for me. I wish I could do the same for you.
It seems since earlier, I’ve been nothing but an inconvenience for you. I apologize for that, Arthur. I hope someday I can fix that perception. ❞
Arthur, or... Ruler. Was not the Original, a copy brought forth, likely due to Alice having compatibility and the original stating his life was his own to live, not hers.
So the Geass was unraveling from within, as it was a cheap copy of the original.
But what more could he do? His Saint Graph had no answers and he knew little about the Geass apart from his memories being erased from a long time ago.
He hated it so fucking much.
〝Let's... Let's grab the things and then find somewhere to smoke or just walk while smoking...〞He said faintly. The moment her hand had touched his face, something had reared its head.
A feeling he knew wasn't his.
Would that be how things were? A complete swap of earlier with him keeping distance instead?
After he'd messed up earlier? After what had just happened now?
He hated it. That he wanted to apologise again, especially for something he didn't understand.
〝To this dying world. My heart is left to you...〞As the cold rushed in to replace the light that had been sacrificed, Arthur le Fay took his final breath and muttered.
〝Should we ever meet again Alice... Let the Geass slowly unwind but leave that boy in tact...〞
