[ yves smiles—and it's truly this sad, despairing thing but it has its own little inklings of fondness. of reminiscing. the person that he adored so dearly, and is always going to be worth missing. four years later, forty years later, if yves ever manages to get that much time. (he doesn't know if he wants that much time.) ]
... he died protecting the orphanage he grew up at from the Royal Guard. His mother, the children, his home. I arrived too late to help him. I... do think that's the day everything started going wrong. And all the years that came after were a nightmare.
[ and it scares him, a little, to think that's about to start again here. the years after that trickled, where yves lost almost everyone he could call a friend one by one. ]
Adolphe's the best, and sometimes I think he was part of what held my world together. I'll... keep going, even if he isn't here but it'll be hard. I know people here didn't know him that well but... he says he doesn't like people that much, but he'll never let you down when you need him.
He's patient, kind, and genuine in a way that I could never match. He always knew the right thing to say, and the way to say it to make it really feel like everything's going to be okay.
And... sometimes I feel like I need to hear that, here. I miss it already. Miss him already.
