blame you if you pointed a gun at me right now and pulled the trigger for what I took. ❜

⠀⠀⠀ a bitter laugh cut in half with a sob pushes out of her in one breath; optics locked on cybernetic hands — the things that carried out every act that led to the grand back-stab.

so-mi's words pull
her gaze away , as if looking at her any longer would cause V to turn to stone on the spot . she should hate her — she should curse her until her dying day for what she's done .

but as her magenta haired
friend spills her guts before
her

⠀⠀⠀ wiping at her cheeks, tears landing on chrome with nowhere to go. her lungs feel heavy through every breath.

⠀⠀⠀ she’s welcome to give it a shot, if only to at least temporarily help any side effects of the neural strain and degradation it causes her — more machine than woman now.

Luckily got her, Brig is a bit of a grease head so she knows her way around a bit of cyberware and such. Hopefully she can assist So Mi with this troublesome issue.

⠀⠀⠀ wouldn’t hurt to try. it’s a complicated set of militech cyberware, though, and requires a sharp mind — delicate hands.
⠀⠀⠀

[𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙢 @IR0NCLADLUST]

Would she like Brig to look at her? She knows a thing or two about being able to assist someone when they’re in pain.

V last saw her.

⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀ she remembers that night. through burning eyes and nerves on the fray — choking out her admission in a final act of guilt and somewhat self-serving ease of consciousness. the silence that followed after hit harder than anything else.

⠀⠀⠀ song begged ava ↪︎

it feels like there's
a knife lodged in her sternum , slicing further everytime she breathes in .

she can't disagree . maybe it wasn't
so-mi's place to ask how she was holding up after everything . but that isn't what V believes .

live, and stop being the trigger under someone else’s finger. none of it changes how I looked at you, and finally saw someone who wanted to set me free. someone who cared. ❜

⠀⠀⠀ a single drop falls, hidden behind the lengths of magenta strands — quite longer than when ↪︎
