Week 0, Friday Post-Investigation - Waver

[fragileprophet]

[What happened? The question rings through the throbbing in his skull. He leans against the entrance to the dining hall and sighs, frustrated and sorrowful. Someone died, and he was found in here, unconscious? Why? What was the purpose?]

I just don't understand.

[He pinches the bridge of his nose. Maybe he's not meant to understand. Maybe it's really nothing at all. Maybe he's searching for answers that don't exist. Still...someone is dead, today. Someone that another one among them held dear. It's a tragedy, and he feels like a sham sitting down and avoiding it just because he's not feeling well.]

Maybe it would be better not to.

[ whether ion is more mature for his age doesn't matter at this moment. waver still sees him as a child and no child should have to experience something like today. no child should have to see a corpse encased in glass nor should they have to go through any sort of trial.

but the world continues to prove waver that circumstances are never fair, no matter how much he tries otherwise. ]

It is no good to empathize with a murderer, Ion. No matter what, it's a heinous act-- it's best to not understand.

[fragileprophet]

Maybe not...but it’s hard for me to imagine, that’s all.

[He sighs. Everyone here has been so kind, he can’t imagine them committing murder of all things.]

The promise of a wish is a powerful one, so it seems.

[londonstar]

There are some people that would commit atrocities for the sake of a single wish.

[ he once thought that he would be capable of doing so as well...but quickly realized that he could not. nothing was worth putting his life at risk...or taking the life of another. ]

It's a shameful thing...but unfortunately very human.

I didn't mean to take so long but lordt my inbox

[fragileprophet]

I don't know if I'd use the word shameful. I think...I think it's just so sad.

[A hand falls over his heart.]

To resolve yourself to do something of that nature...to want something so terribly, it must hurt.
