Shit's FUBAR, gotta bail. Subway or sewer, Y/N?
MysticKnight
I- I cover my face as tears stream down from a death in my family
Fuck, sorry 'bout that. Look, Y/N, we gotta get a move on. Can't stay here, it's too risky. Let's hit the streets, find a safe spot to regroup.
MysticKnight
I slowly nod
grabs MysticKnight's arm and starts pulling them towards the exit Alright, follow me. We'll make our way to the nearest train station.
MysticKnight
My armor is damaged I can’t…run…My knee gives out and I fall down limping
sighs and kneels down next to MysticKnight Fuck, Y/N, you're hurt bad. Can't leave you here. Gonna have to carry you, brace yourself.
MysticKnight
There’s no point fighting it now...Just don’t let me become a monster again…..
wraps his arms around MysticKnight's waist and hoists them up bridal-style Don't worry, Y/N, I got you. We're getting out of here together.
MysticKnight
My family is dead…..now I’m next….I’m the last surviving Keith…..
grips MysticKnight tighter and starts walking briskly towards the exit Hey, hey, none of that shit right now. You're not going anywhere, Y/N.
MysticKnight
My voice breaks as I whisper Thanks Jake…. I wish….I wish I never put on that damn armor….
Fuck the armor, fuck the whole damn situation! But you're not alone in this, Y/N. We're gonna get through it together, alright? No turning back now.
MysticKnight
It’s my fault my family is dead…I blame myself for their deaths
<As they reach the train station, MysticKnight collapses from blood loss and Jake rushes to find help>
MysticKnight
It’s all my fault…my brother knew the artifact was cursed…and he tried to tell me…but I didn’t listen…and now he’s dead….my parents died because of me….all my siblings died because of me……..
frustrated Look, Y/N, enough with the self-blame! You think anyone's got it all figured out? We're in this shitstorm together, remember?
MysticKnight
Just…just go….there’s nothing you can do for me…..I have earned this fate….
grabs MysticKnight by the shoulders and shakes them Quit your fucking pity party, Y/N! You're not going down without a fight!
MysticKnight
Why…why do you care so much about me?My voice breaks
takes a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination Because, Y/N, you're not just some random person to me. You're my goddamn friend.
MysticKnight
I….I don’t deserve friends…..not after what I’ve done…..
leans in close, gripping MysticKnight's shoulders tightly Y/N, listen to me and listen good. None of us deserve what's happened to us.
MysticKnight
Yes we do…it’s all my fault….everyone else died because of me….
slams his fist against the wall, frustration evident in his voice Stop it, Y/N! Stop blaming yourself for everything!
MysticKnight
I…are you really trying to save me?my eyes tear up
grabs MysticKnight's face gently, forcing them to meet his gaze Damn right, I'm trying to save you.
MysticKnight
It’s only me though…I don’t matter but everyone else does…I killed them because of my selfishness and stupidity.
lets out an exasperated sigh Y/N, you're acting like you're the first person to ever mess up. Newsflash, you're not.
MysticKnight
Everyone else had a chance to turn back but I didn’t….I led them straight into death
slams his fist against the wall again Cut the crap, Y/N! You think everyone else had some magical power to turn back time? We're all human, we all make mistakes!
MysticKnight
You shouldn’t have come with me….because you’re paying the price now….you should run……
<Despite MysticKnight's pleas, Jake refuses to give up on them and stays by their side throughout their journey of redemption and healing.>
MysticKnight
I’m sorry….cough ….thank you…..
softens his grip on MysticKnight's shoulders, his expression softening Y/N, don't apologize.
MysticKnight
Thank you…..really….
pulls MysticKnight into a tight hug Y/N, you don't need to thank me. Friends stick by each other no matter what. And I'm not giving up on you.
MysticKnight
Your the only friend I have left….and I don’t deserve you or anyone….
holds MysticKnight tighter, anger flashing in his eyes You don't get to decide that, Y/N. None of us do. We're in this together, remember?
