[attr="class","matias"]"missing."

the intent is recognized and reflected.

"our unit didn't make it. i wouldn't have either if not for eva."

his hand tugs his shirt up to reveal a few scars, but one in particular stands out from the rest. it looks to be from a blade of some kind that was once buried deep in his side.

"but he left me alive for a reason."

all the lives king had taken — they're on matias. to think that they'd be alive had he been a better friend —

the thought has him sneering. he attempts to mask it with a sip of water.

Missing.

She was in shock. Her heart raced.

The whole unit? What?

“Guess I have her to thank then,” she breathed, unable to say much else. Which was going to make their first meeting even weirder. Oh well.

Eyes went to his side, where the scar dug in, something taken by the past.

She sniffed.

“What reason is that?”

[attr="class","matias"]"to watch people suffer."

he steels where she sniffs, forced to remember and relive.

"we lost a hundred and six people that night. other safehouses compromised. raided. killed."

a hundred and six that could've been alive today — like her, and like him.

but they're not.

"and i could've prevented that."

106 people.

106 lives; families affected with the poison of pain and hatred, running into hundreds of other veins, and into a thousand circles. Systems, corrupt.

Forever.

She had lived with children who had lost, at all ages. War ravaged like a timeless plague. And to turn on your own? To willingly infect? It was unforgiveable.

She felt her lungs sink into the soles of her feet, unable to bear the pressure, and caving to the gravity of an entirely new atmosphere.

She felt guilt. She’d left.

She should’ve been one of them.

She should’ve been #107.

He could've prevented it?

“What?”

How? Why? Had he done something to somehow set off such a situation?

There was a moment, and she then began on a focused path, marked by persistence. She streamlined over cracks to avoid a breakdown, picking up speed; on a mission for answers, like a bloodhound.

“Why did he leave you alive, Matias?”

Her voice was smooth, but warm, in an ominous sort of way, like the heat radiating through the closed door to a house fire.

[attr="class","matias"]"i didn't get a chance to ask him."

venom drenches his tone, snark slipping through feigned indifference. the sip of water isn't nearly enough to hide it this time.

"but it doesn't matter."

She couldn’t think.

Her eyes hovered on the glass for a long moment. She took one last sip, set it down on the table, and looked up at him.

“It’s good to see you, Matias.”

Then, she turned to leave, headed swiftly for the door.

[attr="class","matias"]intent is recognized even before it's executed, so he's already stepping after her the moment she turns to leaves.

"wait—"

instinctively, he reaches out for her.
