Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
It was incredibly windy today, even up in the League. It was quite unusual to her. Was someone screwing with weather patterns again?
She couldn’t even do half of her normal welcoming speech for the League because her hair kept flying into her face. Maybe it was time to cut it though, it was getting a bit long for her liking.
Rebecca wondered if she could duck out for a bit to give herself a trim…
She had finished her training for the day, plopping down on her bed so she could take a rest. She had grown out her hair again, and it was all fluffed out underneath her.
Honestly, she didn’t even have the urge to play her violin tonight. She hadn’t had the urge to play that thing in months, actually. Not since… Never mind.
Hey guys! Could you do me a solid and like/reblog if you’re interested in interacting with a sweet hearted student who enjoys flowers and contracts with demons? No worries, you get to talk to her disastrous demon companion too!
Main verses are P4 and P5 but I can work within other points of canon too! Crossovers are also welcome!
His gaze softened slightly as he leaned against the door frame, arms crossing over his chest. “You don’t… it’s not our fault that happened Rebecca. It was an accident. No one could have predicted what happened.”
That Kai existed… And Tomoe…
“… Have you talked to X?” It felt a bit… awkward to bring him up, almost as if he was shifting the responsibility onto the other, but there was no denying that Rebecca was closer to him than she was to Zero. If there was anyone she would go to about something as troubling as this, it would be him.
“It f-feels like I sh-should have-”
She cut herself off, not really able to continue talking as she choked on a sob before shaking her head. She hadn’t talked to X yet, she had been chugging along just fine until now, and she knew that X would say it wasn’t her fault.
“I h-haven’t.”
Her voice cracked a bit painfully there and she coughed to recalibrate before continuing.
“I h-haven’t really talked t-to anyone since I g-got out of the med b-bay all th-that time ago.”
Zero held a hand up, giving the universal signal for Rebecca to slow down and stop. She was winding herself up and working herself into a frenzy and, in the same breath, she was digging herself into a hole that she didn’t belong him. An unnecessary one. And she needed to stop.
“You went after your sister after getting permission from X to do so. You followed the precautions that he told you to, precautions that saved your life. You fell into a trap, yes, one set by someone far stronger than even me and one that both myself and X probably would’ve fallen for. You kept your head and kept it together to be able to grab your brother’s body and run instead of actually doing something stupid like sticking around and trying to help.”
Zero paused, giving a long moment to allow his words to sink in before continuing. “So tell me, what am I missing. What did you do that makes you stupid?”
Rebecca pushed back her bangs, trying to keep tears out of her eyes.
“I… I guess I’m blaming myself. You got hurt, and Aerin d-died-”
She choked on her words, rubbing at her eyes to get rid of forming tears. She looked at the floor, her efforts to get rid of the tears in vain.
“I can s-still see what happened, I don’t know what to do-”
She choked off into a sob and covered her face, occasionally wiping at her eyes some more.
