[man!!!!!!! till, your world sucks so bad. she can't exactly understand precisely what is happening in the competition, especially since the memshare presumably doesn't have the other boy's perspective in it, but she can at least see that even if it at first appeared that the other boy would try to kill him, he wound up sacrificing himself, instead.]
[ sorry i didn't write fic for a two week and everyone gets incomprehensible four minute videos out of context instead. however, that is the gist of it, yes. he looks a little pale and rattled, sweeping a hand through his hair to tug on its roots. ]
...Yeah, it's a competition. So they kill whoever the audience likes less. I guess he knew they wouldn't approve of trying to attack me, so he just set up that—that entire fucking scene. [ Ivan, you... moron. ] He's a twisted guy. Sorry.
[you would be insane if you wrote these out anyway, how often are you from a canon where your character's important moments happen in a 4 minute music video with montages. i understood it, i just didn't want her to leap too far.
anyway, she will put an arm on his shoulder because that seemed really rough to see. even if he's not sure how to feel about it, it would be awful to watch him die like that and know it was for his sake.]
Don't be sorry. That must have been really horrible. You grew up together?
[ you're so right and i'll never write a fic again. he startles a little, out of it, but will touch her hand after. ]
Y-Yeah. We were at the same school. [ the feelings here are complicated, but not wholly negative. his not-love life is a disaster. ] I still don't know what he was thinking, but... It's not like I was even trying to win at that point.
[ he had totally given up on the competition that round for other reasons. grouchily, to dodge The Feelings, ] Some people just do whatever they want and never explain anything.
[she gets it. feelings are hard. sometimes a boy just makes out with you and then kills himself in front of you to change the trajectory of your life even though you were busy being het and you just have to find a way to deal with that.]
That's true. Would it have been better if he had explained?
