1. >You are Shimmer Light.
2. >The week of storms is over.
3. >None of your other journeys required saving, thank goodness.
4. >The winds weren't nearly as horrendous as... that day...
5. >You made a smoothie.
6. >The same smoothie she made for you.
7. >... Yours didn't hold a light to hers.
8. >You did everything the same way she did.
9. >Yours just didn't taste good.
10. >Once again, she's bested you.
11. >You're starting to lose faith in yourself.
12. >... You don't understand.
13. >You're the only one you've ever trusted.
14. >You're the only one you've ever cared about.
15. >You're the only one...
16. >You...
17. >...
18. >Hexferry is walking next to you.
19. >She seems to be talking, but you can't hear her.
20. >You aren't actively trying to ignore her, you're just too lost in thought.
21. >That's the only good thing to come out of this.
22. >You're ignoring her without even trying.
23. >It serves her right; she's the one who did this to you.
24. >... How could you let her do this?
25. >She's destroyed you.
26. >She's the one who made you lose yourself.
27. >You've lost who you are.
28. >... You doubt she even cares.
29. >She's having fun killing you.
30. >... You wonder how long you have bottle yourself up in your home before you fade from the living.
31. >No, you aren't giving up. You just... have to find who you are.
32. >Once you do, you'll be back to your usual self.
33. >... Whoever that is...
34. >...
35. >You feel a hoof on your back.
36. >Well, through all of your jackets.
37. >It's probably Hexferry.
38. >You try to keep moving forward, but the hoof pulls you back.
39. >... Are you really this weak?
40. >"Shimmer, what's wrong with you?!"
41. >Wrong? There's nothing right with you at the moment.
42. >You struggle against her grip.
43. >... Pathetic...
44. >She probably isn't even putting up a valiant effort.
45. >You can't get away.
46. >"You passed your house."
47. >... Did you?
48. >Sure enough, when you turn to look, your home is behind you now.
49. >You adjust yourself and head toward your home.
50. >... Hexferry stands in your way.
52. >Once again, she wears that same concerned look on her stupid, ugly face.
53. "M-move..."
54. >Is that your voice?!
55. >That sounded like a stray who got kicked too many times trying to stand up for itself.
56. >You need to get away.
57. >Now.
58. >... She noticed too.
59. >"Shimmer, what's wrong with you?"
60. >Her tone drips with pity.
61. >... No more.
62. >You've had far too much of this.
63. >You do your best to glare straight into her eyes.
64. >Give her the pain she's given you.
65. "You are!"
66. >Hexferry recoils back.
67. "I don't want friendship, I want solitude. I don't care about your stupid stories, I don't care about anything you do, and I don't care about yo-"
68. >You choke.
69. >... What?
70. >What?!
71. >You weren't even finished with your tirade!
72. >... It feels like something is caught in your throat.
73. >Like you're trying to swallow something but there's nothing there.
74. >You look down.
75. >She can't see you struggle.
76. >You cough a couple of times.
77. >"Shimmer!"
78. >Come on! You were so close, but she still won't leave you alone...
79. >... Your eyes feel... weird.
80. >Your vision is blurry, but not the same blurry you get when you think of the cold.
81. >The blurring moves with your trembling body.
82. >... You're trembling?!
83. >You feel the need to blink.
84. >Hexferry puts her hoof under your head and slowly lifts it to make you look at her.
85. >The blurring moved with gravity.
86. >Now, only the bottom of your vision is blurry.
87. >Very blurry.
88. >She has tears in her eyes.
89. >... Even through what you said, she still looks concerned.
90. >You try to start your last sentence again, but you can't even get a sound out.
91. >Your glare is almost nonexistent now.
92. >... Your face feels weird...
93. >It feels contorted.
94. >You can't control it.
95. >Luckily, your scarves are covering most of it.
96. >But...
97. >... You blink.
98. >Suddenly, the blurriness is gone, but you feel something stream from your eyes.
99. >It's not raining.
100. >... Your eyes widen.
101. >Your heart beats harder.
102. >It hurts.
103. >... You're crying.
104. >You... never cry.
105. >Hexferry isn't even fully crying!
107. >She only has tears in her eyes!
108. >You're...
109. >Hexferry moves your head to her chest.
110. >Her fur is so soft...
111. >It's unfortunate you're staining it with your tears.
112. >... You're the worst.
113. >You put a hoof on her back to try lifting yourself away from her.
114. >Instead, you hang on to her.
115. >... You're using her for support.
116. >You are a wreck.
117. >... You are weak...
118. >Hexferry puts her head on yours.
119. >She seems to be pulling you somewhere.
120. >Your legs blindly follow her lead.
121. >You hear some sounds, but you can't pinpoint what they are.
122. >If you were in a better state of mind, you could.
123. >...
124. >You feel your leg bump into something soft.
125. >"Shimmer, lay down here."
126. >... You don't take orders from...
127. >You slowly pull away from her chest.
128. >That's your couch.
129. >Probably.
130. >Your sight is still very blurry.
131. >You can only imaging how soaked her fur is...
132. >Hexferry helps you onto the couch.
133. >... You bury your face in a pillow.
134. >Never in your life have you felt this...
135. >Useless.
136. >Pathetic.
137. >... Hurt...
138. >Hexferry gently grabs one of your hooves.
139. >You slowly look up from your pillow.
140. >She looks the same as before... but also hurt.
141. >Your words did get to her.
142. >... Unfortunately, they don't have much weight behind them by now.
143. >You're just a crying mess.
144. >... You turn back to the pillow.
145. >At least it doesn't pity you.
146. >It doesn't think your a sniveling pile of filth.
147. >It doesn't...
148. >...
149. >Eventually, your crying stops.
150. >You inhale deeply.
151. >... Then let it out.
152. >Slowly...
153. >You take off your layers of clothing one by one.
154. >Every sock, scarf, hat, jacket...
155. >Everything.
156. >You just toss them to the floor next to Hexferry.
157. >... You assume.
158. >Your face is still in the pillow, so you obviously can't see.
159. >She must have let go at some point, because you don't feel her anymore.
160. >You look up.
161. >... She's gone.
162. >You close your eyes and sigh.
163. >So badly... you just want to die.
