W-What? Pardon? You're implying...asking someone who's murdered to exchange a wish for a weapon to kill Angels? And to get said weapon from an Angel of Dust that compelled them into the thing? Mr. Escardos? Are you hoping Angels will be idiots?
[ flat lets sholmes pull hm him close with no resistance, as he continues facing forward. ]
Shamsiel told me that it was okay to feel sad, but I can't even bring myself to feel that. I'm just...tired of losing people like this. It's so scary when everyone starts falling asleep on Thursday night, and you wonder if you'll fall asleep too or if you'll stay awake and become either a victim or a murderer.
[ he sighs. ]
It's exhausting having to watch everyone die like this.
[That's the honest truth. It's just...exhausting.]
But I think...we cannot let exhaustion overwhelm us. These are dark, evil days. But it doesn't mean we don't have a chance at stopping this once and for all. Because if we don't...it will all just happen again.
"There is nothing more stimulating than a case where everything goes against you."
[He brushes lightly over Flat's hair.]
Life is a difficult thing. If we came into this world with a guidebook as to what to do, what a world that could be? But we don't. So all we can do is...do our best. Step forward. And exit the cycle.

[ he smiles at sholmes, but it doesn’t quite reach the eyes. ]
I was planning to do it myself.
1/2
[Something sharp glimmers in Sholmes's eyes, like obsidian.]
[Anger.]
2/2
If you even think about killing someone, I'll kill you myself. Do you understand? Don't you dare.

[He looks away, for a moment, his words almost...choked.]
I don't want to lose you, Mr. Escardos.

he scoots closer to sholmes, hopefully able to lean against him without anyone hurting. ]
I’m tired, Mister Sholmes.
no subject
[He turns to him to look at him for a moment...before reaching out with an arm around his shoulders to pull him close.]
...I'm tired, too, Mr. Escardos. Day by day goes by, and it seems we face more and more examples of evil.

a life with a guidebook...wouldn't that be nice? it would make everything so much easier for him. ]
We'll exit the cycle, right?

[His jaw is set. His tone is stern.]
If not, then I'll simply have to go up to those two angels or whatever they are and teach them a lesson.
[sholmes: let's just kill god]

[ ...
okay, it's sholmes turn to get slapped upside the head. ]
Sir, if we do that, then we have to do that as a team. I don't want to lose you either, sir. That's terrifying.
no subject
[OW]
Mm.
[Rubbing the back of his head at that, though.......he lowers it. He's still very tired, but.]
I'll never leave you, Mr. Escardos. You have my word on that.
no subject
[ he smiles, relieved. ]
Okay sir, because if you died, I'd have to find some way to get there and drag you back myself!
