. . . I w - want . . . Somer to be here . . .

* I asked if I could spend the holidays with you and the others this Christmas ?? Who the fuck responds like that ???

. . . It's f - fine. This is, erm . . . normal.

[ but he's a lightner, clearly. his physical body doesn't look so well ; fragile with a slump. ]

Even if I wanted to, I don't think it would be a good idea.

[ very strained smile. he's not saying okay or yes or anything. ]

I plague all who associate me with a curse that will torment the people I attach myself to, against the will of my efforts or otherwise. Fahaha. Y - you know. Divine punishment for my sins and what have you.

[ he said that as if its just another casual topic. ]

[ huddled up close by with his knees tucked in, shaking so violently. ]

I d - did not . . . go in there willingly . . .

U - um.

You don't want me to work for you, fahaha — I promise.

Ddo you promise

No [ looks like he hasn't slept in days ]

Were you atoned? Did the Angel kiss your head tenderly as well?

[ what the fuck is he talking about n]

[ he just allows himself to be pulled up, and immediately as he meets solid ground, buckles up and falls to his knees. ]

F - fff . . . fine now . . .

I am a holy servant! I ccant be tainted by uncouth methods of sin again.

[ looking at him scared ] I I dont knowwww

I still ffeel the milk in my shoes
