With this, you do have a choice. You don't have to die from this. If you think you can avoid acting on that emotion for...what, a week or two? Statistically we'll die again at some point. We can just make plans to take it out the next time you die. It's morbid to think of it that way, but I do think it's a viable option.
I get it. It's hard to say how you'll react in the moment. ...I'm guessing you aren't the only one who got this punishment, since three flocks lost. We can see how Daffodil and Rose handle it, maybe. If activating it is a painless option then that might be easier on you than having you be out while we replace your heart.
Pretty sure Charon said something about it being a seed and roots in it. So that says "less explosion, more something ripping it apart" which ain't painless.
I didn't say it was a guarantee. It's a punishment, so I'm guessing it won't be easy. But the bombs weren't as bad as I feared, so if you're not in a rush then we can at least gather information to be sure.
...We could probably knock you out before killing you and replacing your heart. It would be just like going to sleep and waking up.
I'm not okay with it. I'm sure he isn't either. It does suck, no matter what. But it's not like me crying is going to change the situation, is it? And between the two of us, if anyone gets to cry about it, it's you.
but also apparently something Styx actually kinda needs because while he's not hugging back as tightly, he does in fact also puts his arms around Lethe in an actual hug and stuff, fuck.]
[fucking rude it's not like he feels like crying or anything! or that he has to keep his face from being seen for a little while until he can get it the fuck together again!
anyway, it'll be a little bit before he pulls back, yeah.
he always looks this miserable, what are you talking about.]

... it's not a word trigger. It's showin' the trait we had taken.
Re: Day 41, early IDK SOMETIME THAT WORKS FOR YOU
That's...honestly kind of annoying, but it also means it's easy enough to handle as long as you don't act like a martyr, right?

Re: Day 41, early IDK SOMETIME THAT WORKS FOR YOU
I can avoid it long enough so the eye's open again, but it's not like I think about how I'll react if somethin' happens to people I care about.

You and Charon can act as okay with it as ya want, but it still fuckin' sucks.

...Can I give you a hug, though?
Re: Day 41, early IDK SOMETIME THAT WORKS FOR YOU
there's a lot pause of quiet before he lets out an exhale and spreads his hands like he's not gonna stop him if he really wants to.]
Re: Day 41, early IDK SOMETIME THAT WORKS FOR YOU
steps in close and hugs him TIGHT]

Re: Day 41, early IDK SOMETIME THAT WORKS FOR YOU
it's going to keep being awkward because Lethe isn't going to pull away until Styx does, so. this hug could last a while]

Re: Day 41, early IDK SOMETIME THAT WORKS FOR YOU
