Destiny 2, Harold, last chance

[inarticulate]

Title: Breathless
Author: Nessie
Canon: Tales of Destiny 2
Spoilers: for the entire game
Characters/pairing: Harold
Rating: worksafe
Warnings: (canon) character death

Harold steps back into her room, numb. It feels like she's been hit with a paralyzing agent, but Atwight declared her completely healthy.

She wonders if she could make it to the workstation, if she could model her feelings and split them apart into diagrams until she could understand, if she could stop seeing the breath rattling in his chest every time she closes her eyes.

Death is completely mechanical. It does not show mercy for the brother Harold loved. She should have known that from the very start.

She should have downloaded him back when she had the chance.

Fixed your tags!



also, I don't know this game, but ouch, that's a killer image.

I-I don't know if random people like me are allowed to comment, but I feel I have to say this. This is the best ToD2 thing I've ever read. It's so amazingly sad and bitter, and I can really see Harold being like this.


...Also now I'm even less confident I would be able to watch this scene in the game calmly ;_;
