<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Well—
*Cranes my neck to look behind me without turning my body away from the original*
Well obviously I would! Who wouldn't want a life without regrets?

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

That’s what this is- what this was, to me.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Winces on contact, anxiety building every moment*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>
Shinji:
*Immediately walks away, and closes the door behind me, a bit harder than he admittedly should have*

.....

*tears begin to stream down my face*

This feels too damn familar.. like its all happening again.

*walks through a portal, and disappears*

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

You wiped out your home, and then replaced it with a flawless copy.
*Fire burns in my expression*
We are not the same.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I watched helplessly as my own hands were used to take everything away!
*My watery eyes turn to tears*
Revellyn died, the last day Maelstrom got away… And I miss him, too.

Shinji: *calls david*

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*Flashes my gaze to the side, memories clouding my thoughts*
You're... not... you're not a victim! You did all this—
*Waves my hand across the misty storm*
And you think you can just get away from it?

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

You have to understand… Please understand. Maelstrom is not me. It’s a curse. A curse that’s made everything worse for as long as I’ve had memories.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Hello there.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*Grits my teeth*
Curse or not. Who's responsible for this, then?

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Maelstrom. That’s what I’ve been trying to say. To both of you.
*Winces, as though in pain*

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>
Shinji:
Hey... is now a bad time to talk?

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Of course not friend. Never a bad time.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

What, the name of your curse? What do you suggest?

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

Alright. I need to talk to you in person. Can you warp me over to Myth Co?

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I hate to even call it an alter ego… But that’s the best thing to call it to make you understand. Maelstrom lives in my head, as an inseparable entity.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

That's your excuse? It sounds to me like you haven't kept up and want an easy out.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Holds my hand over the mic*
What's the status?
*A muffled response makes through to your side of the call*
Sorry, no can do friendo. Maybe we could meet somewhere else. Over coffee?
