*Nods*
Deal.
*Reaches for my belt, feeling for my magnifying glass*
*Sees what you're doing and guides your hand to it*

*Nods*
Deal.
*Reaches for my belt, feeling for my magnifying glass*
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Wipes away a drop of blood rolling down my face*
Don't let her... find out.
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Takes a deep, shaky breath*
Mom's going... kill you...
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
...Fine.
*Clenches my eyes shut, balling your shirt up in my good and and holding myself close to you*
I won't lay down though.
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
I can't lose my eyes. I can't lose them. I can't lose them. I can't lose them.
*Digs my fingers into my eyelids, holding them open in shaky grasp with all my might*
I have to see. Have to learn.
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Breathes heavily*
What if I end up like Dawn... like Shion?
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
I can't—I won't—I'm not like them. I have to. I have to see.
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
There's too much.
*Squeezes my broken hand, wincing and distracting myself from the stimulus*
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Closes one eye, and keeps the other held open*
Heartbeats. Breath. Blink. Energy. Movement.
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
No...
*Holds my eyes open with my hands, fighting my eyelids trying to close automatically*
Do you... really look like that now?
