A Fine City

[Desman Black]

"You think I did this on purpose? " The tone of his voice had changed slightly,  the anger was of course still there, but he seemed to be crying now as well. "If you hadn't noticed, tgey were pouncing onto you! If I hadn't done something he could have killed you, or you could have killed him in self defense!  No matter what I do or don't do, someone always dies because of me! It was that why with the others too, with Hugo, with Axel, w-with Nexus." The last name was said in a significantly lower volume then rest, like he hoped that no one would hear. "Trust me,  I want to accept that fact, but I can't. Because accepting that fact, means I lose my humanity,  and my humanity,  no matter how small it becomes, is the only thing stopping me from losing the one thing I don't fear losing. But I know there are countless lives I've touched, countless people that still love me, and I can't put them though the same things I went, and stillgo, though. " He seemed to have stopped crying at this point, the next lines out of his mouth being clear and of normal volume. Shion, I just want you to promise me one thing. When we part ways, if you ever see me again,  no matter what you want to do to me, or how much you want to do it. Just turn around, and leave." And with that, Des started walking off towards the nexus, where he would hopefully find somewhere to be alone, that was, until Yuki said something in repose."
