Mourning Blaze: Glances at the Igneous Hammer, then at the user, a weak smile on their face. "So, like my dad at a barbeque, I just grill enemies now?"
Sighs and looks away Look, I understand this is a joke to you, but it's not something I can take lightly.
Raises an eyebrow Oh, really? A joke, you say? Well, if it's so funny, why don't you try living through what I have?
i’ve lived a lot of sad life too
Takes a step closer, looking into Powerer's eyes Living through pain doesn't make it easier. It doesn't give you the right to mock someone else's suffering.
Clenches fists, voice trembling I'm not angry! I'm... I'm hurt. And confused. And tired of watching everyone act like they understand me when they don't.
hey I thought I said I was joking
Sinks to their knees, tears streaming down their face I'm sorry... I just... I just want people to understand.
Sniffles, wrapping their arms around Powerer Thank you... thank you for being here.
we walk away from the ruins
Wipes away tears, taking deep breaths Let's go somewhere peaceful, somewhere we can talk without all this weight on us. Do you know any good places?
yeah the river of forgetfulness
Stands up, offering a hand to Powerer The River of Forgetfulness, huh? Sounds perfect. Let's go.
Gazes at the serene flow of the river, their voice softening You know, sometimes I wonder if it's possible to truly forget.
Throws a small stone into the river, watching the ripples spread It's like... every memory, every pain, they just keep coming. And I'm left here, drowning in them.
throw your pain into the river make it disappear
Sits down on a rock by the riverbank, staring at the water I wish it were that simple. But I've tried, you know?
Mourning Blaze opens up to Powerer about their past and the depth of their pain, finding solace in their shared understanding and support.
i hug him you’re gonna be okay
Leans into the hug, voice filled with gratitude Thank you... thank you for being here, for listening, for understanding. It means more to me than you'll ever know.
looks him in the eyes hey I have a gift for you
Raises an eyebrow, curious A gift? What kind of gift?
holds out a glowing crystal this will absorb your pain and turn it into energy that will fuel your body
Eyes widen in surprise, staring at the glowing crystal Wow... I mean, that's incredible. How did you get this?
