Even if he did it out of caring about you, that's...

Ah, you're not wrong.

[he's settling in on the ground. his wounds are closed, but they're still sore after nine hours of doing trial shit.]

...sorry, Dion.

[agamid]

I am not the one who deserves apologies.

[verminous]

Gonna have to disagree with you on that one, bud.

[agamid]

Then we shall be in disagreement.

[ he's stubborn ]

[verminous]

I think I can live with that.

[just like everything else.]

...shouldn't have been you getting dragged into this whole mess.

[agamid]

No? [ he smiles at gregor ] Would you wish it on someone else?

[verminous]

I wouldn't wish it on any of you-! Don't...

[don't smile at him when you say that.]

[agamid]

[ sorry he's smiling ]

You are truly gentle hearted, Gregor. I do wish that you could find a place of kindness and not hardship. You deserve that and far more.

[verminous]

... you deserve to go back, though. Find out whether you see him again.

[no comment on himself all of you please stop calling him good.]

[agamid]

[ he's silent a moment ]

No, I would not. Even if I returned. My time was short even before I returned to this place. I only regret not being able to see my final mission completed.

[verminous]

Don't know that for sure until you actually die, Dion.

[you can have a good idea of it, probably. but you don't know.]

[agamid]

[ he's silent for a while ]

What is it that you hope for, Gregor? Of your future?

[verminous]

...to be honest, I don't know.

[he shakes his head, at that.]

Got a contract to finish out. After that, I guess we'll see.

[agamid]

[ he hums ]

And what is it that drives you then? Despite your suffering and hardships to simply keep... continuing on?

[verminous]

[he's quiet for a minute, in turn.]

It all used to feel like a nightmare. Maybe I just... hoped that one day, I would feel like I'd woken up.

[like it was all behind him, finally.]

I picked up a fondness for humor. For the kind of liveliness I'd been missing up until then. It isn't all bad.

[agamid]

[ ... ]

I am glad that you believe so, Gregor. I am sure there are many here who feel their lives better for having met you.

[verminous]

Ah, they'd be fine without me. Most of the people here-- they're pretty resilient.

[dion is going to be more of a loss.]

[agamid]

[ he shakes his head ]

Their resilience does not negate their hurt. You underestimate your value... But I do hope that you take care of yourself.
