>>67652395>"Inco...?" Damien speaks now, the room shocked and silent.>"I... I killed her.">A gasp from Sophia, Liv's jaw gone slack and Damien completely beside himself.>"W-what!?" He shouts.>"I kicked her into the glass case. She didn't make it." Scaler excuses herself from the room.>Silence is a poor word to describe the room. Silence is an absence of noise. This was the opposite of noise. Empty ringing.>Solly banishes the aura with his voice.>"I want to speak to Inco. Alone." he's calm and cold.>There's a brief struggle. Insistence on being here but Sophia pulls the lot out at his request. Just him and I now.>He walks over to me and gently places a hand on my shoulder.>"You're gonna remember this forever." I shut my eyes hard.>"Don't let it consume you." A squeeze. I look up to see he's taken his hat off, it now held against his chest.>His gaze tells me all I need to know. This comes from experience. He's trying to help me help myself, like always. I breathe deep and take his words to heart.>"It was self defense." The words are meant to relieve worry. >I nod.>He slowly removes his touch, allowing the room's previous occupants, minus Scaler, back in. I look up to see apprehensive looks all around. I give a weak nod as I'm hugged gently by Olivia, leaning over my lowered bed to do so. Her grasp avoiding my throat. I feel tears start to drain down my face. Fin, off to lurk now /snoot/ Fun as always.
