I'm not sure you could categorise it as either.

[clickclickbang]

so the worst kinda thought

wanna talk about it? or distractions?

[judgementor]

No, you misunderstand.

It isn't a bad thing. It's simply very mixed feelings.
The item belonged to someone who was very important to me, a very long time ago.

[clickclickbang]

ooooh

what is it?

[judgementor]

A wedding ring. It belonged to the woman who first summoned me.

[clickclickbang]

oh, cool

wait was she your wife??

[judgementor]

No. Her husband was a knight.

But we were very close. I looked on her like a sister.

[clickclickbang]

[Look, valid question!]

ooooh.

oh hey is it on a chain? I have one you can use, if you need one

[judgementor]

It isn't. I'd appreciate that.

[clickclickbang]

not a problem! you don't wanna risk losing that, after all

[judgementor]

It hasn't left my sight yet.

As I said, it's been provoking a lot of thought.

[clickclickbang]

anything I can help with? I mean, sure I'm human but

[judgementor]

Neither of us are what we're supposed to be while we're here.

But that, I think, is part of it.....
She may have been dead for two centuries, but that hasn't lessened her presence in my heart.
And I don't think she would wish for me to have been suffering the way that I have.

[clickclickbang]

probably not, no one wants their family to suffer, but...it's not your fault if you do? take it from me, man, emotions are messy and they suck

[judgementor]

I'm well aware.
As much as I'm very aware that I've spent the past year being terribly selfish.

[clickclickbang]

selfish? says who? because you helped me and I'm pretty sure that's not selfish

[judgementor]

I say it, Prompto, and it's certainly true despite what kindnesses I might have shown to others in the meantime.

[clickclickbang]

well, I don't think you've been selfish but I also know there's no point in arguing that

but hey, acknowledgement is the first step or something?

[judgementor]

That is what they say.

[clickclickbang]

seriously, if you need to talk about it you know where I am

[judgementor]

I just tried to, Prompto.

[clickclickbang]

oh

I'm bad at this I'm trying

[judgementor]

Would you like to try again?

[clickclickbang]

drinks? or want me to cook?

[judgementor]

Drinks would be fine, yes.
