His crew seems to be in good spirits, despite everything. Daisuke, ever the optimist. . they all needed that hope. Swansea, a little rough around the edges, but he was a dependable man. If it weren’t for Pony Express guidelines, Curly would’ve chose him to be captain.
She still sees him as the captain. The leader. The highest rung on the ladder. . and yet, he fell.
Curly is, at least, thankful that the explosion didn’t take away his hearing. If he could smile, he would, but he’s afraid that all he has is tears and agony.

Ok fine, I couldn't take it and decided to post this now. Here's a meme for you. !LOUD NOISE WARNING!
I'm planning on making this into a Lenti card, what do you think? I've seen someone do same idea, so geniuses think alike? (the idea was on the surface ahah) #Mouthwashing
His eye followed her as she moved to take a seat. If it weren’t for the smoke damage, he might still have a voice to respond with.
It’s fine with him. He won’t deny her his company, for what it’s worth, at least.
He doesn’t blink.
Losing himself within his memories. It’s an escape from the agony, but only for so long.
Four months before the crash. Tired, the captain stood with his arms crossed in front of the coffee machine, dozing off as he waited for his drink.
Too much expectations on his shoulders.
He gives Anya a wheeze in response. He’s still here. Still aboard the crashed Tulpar. Still waiting to die.
Curly’s eye shifts towards the sun setting on the screen, then to the nurse beside him.
He’s here. Awake, breathing. . barely alive.
@NIGHTSCREENS Curly’s arm falls back down. If he could wince, he would.
He wishes he could say sorry, too. All this may as well be his fault. He tried to see the good in people, but his kindness blinded him. Led him to this fate.
He just looks at her with another tear welling up.
Everything hurts.
Every ragged wheeze made his lungs feel like they were aflame.
A tear runs down his face. He can hardly feel the burn from the salt on his exposed flesh. The agony is overwhelming.
Why is he still alive?
