[ i've been alone, hiyori hears. i've had to bear anything and everything by myself. what i'm not used to is not being alone. i'm not used to not considering myself a burden because if i wasn't? surely, i wouldn't have been on my own for so long. someone would see me. notice me.
a silent cry. more heartwrenching than any wail or sob.
to spare ereshkigal seeing more tears building in her eyes, she hugs her again. more tightly, if possible. she keeps her voice low, but firm. riddled with resolve and emotion in equal measure. ]
Ereshkigal, this isn't the Underworld. [ though, right now, it comes close to the burning nightmare of hell. everything that makes up all that's ugly and all its carnage. ] You told me... you wanted to be treated like an equal. Like the rest of us.
You don't have to do anything by yourself. Not anymore. Least of all suffer silently on your own. [ gradually, her fingers curl against her back. not finding purchase but clutching all the same. she's known too many gods who quietly weather their pain in solitude. ]
If you're lonely, you can seek out company. If you're sad, I'll cry with you. If you're upset, we can beat something up in the METAVERSE. [ wriothesley showed it to her before it all went to shit. ] If you want to rest, you can use my shoulder.
