hopefully by next month i'll be able to actually feel like a person again but every time i've attempted to give myself a deadline to start magically feeling better it's only backfired but
i don't plan to keep sitting in this pit forever.

#𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐄 ;

apologies again for my running absence
things still haven't been really the greatest for my mental, physical and emotional states and i've needed a LOT of space from most of my circles and i believe i still do, and i'm not sure if that's going to change anytime soon.

i'm extremely sorry.

filling the emptiness of the square between them.

" what happened ?! why are you .. "

questions stumble out of his mouth,
and at the same time he hesitates
to know the answers.

she wouldn't willingly choose to betray them ..
was it some kind of underhanded play ?

" aqua .. l-let me help you ! "

" aqua .. "

again, his voice calls out to her
but now it's struck with disbelief and heartbreak.

the hollowed look in her eyes
and the way the heartless fester
around her like dogs to their master,
waiting for a call to heed ..
to be released.

" what are you DOING ?! "

outrage comes next,

+

at the sound of a welcome and familiar voice ;
Sora finds himself following her sound before he
even turns that fat head of his around .

" 𝙖𝙦𝙪𝙖 , what are you .. "

[ .ᐟ .ᐟ .ᐟ ]

with that very same instinct ,
he stops in his tracks and even
backpedals upon the sight of her.

Your body and soul 、bruised and broken.

#𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐄 ;

prob just slap that on for now and get these replies out real quick before work ..

with that being said i'll try to keep my replies going for the things i have going on + focus on the SL , but they might end up short or any interactions might just be small banter for the time being !

#𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐄 ;

god the month started out busy and it will remain busy .. have patience with me for the next few weeks everyone . .

" cool it - "

the boy catches the sparks flying at him from across the phone.

" i'll remind you that he's my friend too ! i wouldn't let him stick around you if i thought you were going to do a bad job .. "

" BUT YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT IT YET YOU ALLOWED SUCH RECKLESS BEHAVIOR ? "

judging stare.

" your future seems like a dark one .. "

" ... as a father, you should be more wary about what your kid is hearing, right ? "

the most deadpan expression and tone ever.

“ so. what do you mean that you’ve adopted my little galactic pink buddy i befriended in the world of light, got divorced in front of him and pay child support in not actual munny but snacks and didn’t explain any of it to him leaving me to handle all of that ? ”

( said in one big breath. )

#𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐄 ;
and just like dat .. im eepers ..

there's ain't no way on this sunday night i have to do this deadbeat's job and explain divorce to his five year old .

slight turn towards kirby .

" he's 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝 ? "

( 𝑎𝑙𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑦 ? )

" you know .. like ..
your mama and papa were together .. "

man, should he really break this news to him ?
this is axel's job ! 💧💢

" they're having a vacation
from each other ! and axel pays your mom ..
cause you're with her ? "

( spam dialing @burningmemxry.bsky.social 's gummiphone. )

" oh. i see.

can you give me a second ? "

puts down kirby briefly.
takes 10 steps away.
and .. stares off in silence.

[ sora.exe has stopped working. ]

" you know me kirby ,
i'm always ready to get on the go !
it sounds like you got a really nice famil - "

[ 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡. ]

" .. d .. did you say ..

PAPA 𝑨𝑿𝑬𝑳 ? "

#𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐄 ;

wait.
when did i hit 200 followers.

wrong wrong wrong ,
this was all so very 𝗪𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚.

he asks himself questions that
have no definite answers ..
not yet, anyway .

the darkness creeps in on Sora as he wanders deeper ,
but they wait eagerly as if waiting for something ..

or rather ,
𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗢𝗡𝗘 .

⸻ [ @wayfindermaster.bsky.social ]

#𝑽𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒓𝑭𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏 ⸻ 𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗔 𝗩𝗦 𝗔𝗤𝗨𝗔.

strolling through once familiar streets ,
the boy savior finds himself feeling
rather .. out of place.

the streets were devoid of all life
despite them being lit up like a usual
night.

shops were still full of their stocks ,
yet no shop keeps.
