DOES THE END JUSTIFY THE MEANS ﹖ this is process， there is no end， there are only means， each ones had better justify itself． to whom ﹖

@alchemichurt ( Some of the fight goes out of him with that touch. A quiet sigh, and almost helplessly, he leans into the touch. )

Alright. You’re right, I know that.

( A letter left behind. A clear ‘we need to talk’. He waits, and will wait, unseen, a safe house. )

[Mateo. @abalefulscion]

@alchemichurt Not long. It’s nothing. We’ve worked hard to get where we are. I don’t want to lose that to overzealous methods.

[Mateo. @abalefulscion]

@alchemichurt Alright then. We’ll continue as normal.

[Mateo. @abalefulscion]

@alchemichurt And if he finds the real culprit?

[️️ ️️️️️️️️️ @ichortale]

one night my dad and i sat side by side, staring up at the stars. and without hesitation, i whispered, “i don't think you’re a good person.” “and you are?” he asked quietly. “no. i’m too much like you for that.”

[Mateo. @abalefulscion]

@alchemichurt We can be intelligent.

[Mateo. @abalefulscion]

@alchemichurt I don’t like the unpredictability. The risk outweighs the work.

[Mateo. @abalefulscion]

@alchemichurt They were still a child. The whole point of *this was to stop that happening! Change, we promised to change! Not encourage!

[Mateo. @abalefulscion]

@alchemichurt I have no issue with playing to their vanity.

But killing children is specifically what I wanted to stop. What we set out to change.

[Mateo. @abalefulscion]

@ofpoisonthrone / yes pls do this

[Mateo. @abalefulscion]

@alchemichurt ( … Fuck. )

Theo. It’s him. He’s unpredictable. How does that help us?

[Mateo. @abalefulscion]

@alchemichurt We need to talk about him. This is — this is not what we planned.
