how many of you have soulmates?

did it stop you from getting sick?

Comments

[somatosensory]

They'd say anything to get you to do what they want.

[telepathy]

you have that in common

[somatosensory]

I have never lied to you.

[telepathy]

congratulations

[somatosensory]

So does that mean you don't want to hold hands with me?
I'm hurt.

[telepathy]

let me know if you want someone to put you out of your misery

[ she'd be first in line, clearly. he'd only be here if he were ill, she figures, even if she hadn't gotten enough of a look at him while they were imprisoned to be sure.

her own hacking gets worse, as if punishing her for her unsympathetic response. she plucks a bloodied rose petal from between her lips and frowns at it. ]

[somatosensory]

I'll take my chances with the painful, lingering death.

[telepathy]

i hope it hurts

[somatosensory]

You know it does.

[telepathy]

i also know you can stop it

🔒

[somatosensory]

Do you think I haven't tried?

🔒

[telepathy]

too weak?

[somatosensory]

Have you ever tried to pull a virus out of your lung tissue?

[telepathy]

no
have you tried a knife

[somatosensory]

Yes.
Turns out scratching internally doesn't offer much relief.

[telepathy]

[ the bottom drops out of her stomach ]

that was a stupid thing to do

[somatosensory]

But illuminating.

[telepathy]

if you want to kill yourself you could at least let me do it

[somatosensory]

Who said I wanted to kill myself?

[telepathy]

can you use your power if you cant breathe
or if you pass out from pain
if you werent trying to kill yourself then your dumber than i thought

[somatosensory]

Where was all this concern when I was carrying you around the desert with a shattered collarbone?
Or that time you dropped a mine on my head?

If I'm going to kill myself, rest assured it won't be with a knife.

[telepathy]

im not concerned

[somatosensory]

Still a bad liar.
You should maybe work on that.

[telepathy]

i didnt feel it

[somatosensory]

Sharing that with you would have just made both of us miserable.
