deal with other people . ]
[ unfortunately for him though, fate had other plans . he can never truly isolate himself in this place, as much as he tries . ]
— open int .
[ `regret` was sitting on one of the platforms, with their back against some crates and their knees close to their chest . ]
[ usually, he would be cleaning up the bodies that inevitably pile on around him . . but this time . he hasn't . how odd . ]
-
[ they seemed to be lost in their own thoughts . . and staring at the ground . they don't seem to be doing too well . ]
[ then again, when was the last time he was ever doing well ? not even he knows . either way, the last thing he'd want right now is to have to -
@Johnglidernull it is why they are here . yet they can't hate it . i mean, they must've done something to deserve to be brought here . it must just be their punishment for being a monster . so all that he feels about the void is . . nothing . hollowness when there should be something there . ]
@Johnglidernull
[ despite how `regret` tries to present themselves as someone who doesn't care about anyone . . that is a massive lie . they do care . and they notice a lot of things . ]
[ such as how badly john glider seemed to be doing the last time they met . -
@Johnglidernull [ i think . . for now at least, `regret` can't do anything else for him . they probably weren't even able to help at all . . . so they continued to stare at john, occasionally looking towards the void aswell . ]
[ should they hate the void more ? after all . . -
@Johnglidernull ` oh . . i didn't realize that . `
[ damn it . now they're thinking about it again . at least they didn't have to share anything more than that . if they did . . . then they would've been proven right . ]
` . . . my apologies . i guess . `
@Johnglidernull ` . . . just pretend it never happened . `
[ they just want to not think about it right now . "it" will probably remind them constantly about it later anyway . ]
` . . . . what do you mean ? `
[ he looked a bit confused now . ]
@Johnglidernull [ that didn't help at all now . did it . ]
[ what was the point of even sharing any of it if it didn't end up helping at the end of the day ? . . well . . . he can stress over it later . ]
[ they just continued to stare at john, waiting to see if he'd say anything . ]
@Johnglidernull [ . . . is this helping ? no it isn't . but he can understand the idea of not wanting to be related to your "creator" . although in his case it is . . . way more different . and due to other reasons most likely . ]
@Johnglidernull [ . . . oh . that explains . . a lot actually . to them, whether someone is related to the void or not doesn't matter to him . ]
` . . if you were to be related to the void, i don't think it'd change much . you're still you at the end of the day . `
