...Won't stop you. But you won't be able to do that bleeding all over the place, you know.

[ Bleed LESS. ]

[noirges]

You're also bleeding!

[boxcar]

I do usually notice when I am hurt.

[ Don't :T him! ]

[noirges]

It doesn't hurt...

I normally figure it out eventually.

[boxcar]

You have a high pain tolerance?

[ ...Then again, so does Marcoh, and he does still notice. ]

[noirges]

Mm... It just... doesn't hurt. It hasn't hurt in a long time.

[ everyone: yves doesn't have the curfew effect? suspicious
me, shaking: he's just like this i'm so sorry he's so fucking broken ]

[boxcar]

"Long time"?

[ When's the last time this guy felt physical pain. ]

[noirges]

... maybe not since the fire. So... over a decade now?

[ you: yves your emotional CIPA
me: yea! he also has the normal kind! ]

[boxcar]

[ I DIDN'T WANT TO ASSUME ]

Sorry, fire?

[noirges]

[ SO FUNNY.... SO VALID.... ]

Ah... I got caught in a fire when I was younger. It was kind of a freak accident...

[boxcar]

Oh... sorry to hear that.

[ EVERytHING WAS SO On FIRE!!! STOP IT. FOR YVES SPECIFICALLY. ]

Fire is a terrible threat.

[noirges]

[ if i don't send a burn victim into an active fire at least once what's the point

but yves just hums softly at that... there's an uncharacteristic silence from him that follows, as if he's trying to decide what to say

but he settles on: ]

... it's part of why... I don't think I can be loved as I am.

Because of the burn I got from the fire and... everything that happened after.

[boxcar]

If someone doesn't like you because of your scars that were not your fault, they are the ass, do you know that?

[ Jsyk. There's a curiosity to the second part but he seems like he won't press for it. ]

[noirges]

... I don't blame them.

[ what other answer do you expect from yves ]

They're nice people. They can't all be terrible. I think they were probably just trying their best.

[boxcar]

I think maybe, you are the one who is "too nice" for your own good.

[noirges]

[ laughs a little ]

Well, I've heard that before...

I don't really know how to be any other way, though.

[boxcar]

It sounds like we are here to reflect and change on a lot of things.

Maybe that can be one of the things you focus on.

[noirges]

[ . . . ]

Maybe.

[ that's so convincing ]

You're trying to go back to life, right Marcoh? So you can get out of Prehevil and be with your sister.

[boxcar]

I am.

[noirges]

What're you gonna do after that?

[boxcar]

...I don't know.

I need to make sure Venere will be safe first.

...It all depends on that.

[noirges]

Is... there a reason you think she wouldn't be safe?

[boxcar]

[ Truly 5k tags into this game I have forgotten who has gotten lore and who hasn't. If this is a repeat of something I've said to Yves, no it isn't. ]

...Bad people.

[noirges]

[ literally me

but don't worry this is new ]

... is it part of why you needed to leave Vatican City?

[boxcar]

...Yes.

[ A grim silence, just long enough to get awkward but just short enough before Yves has a chance to follow up. ]

I murdered someone. With a lot of power and influence.
