[b]Rook turns around to face the ranger.[/b]
"W-who are you?"
English
-
"A savior..."
-
"Is that what everyone calls themselves now? Saviors? Savior of what?"
-
"You." [b]Watcher places a hand on Rook's shoulder [/b] "You must be saved."
-
[b]Rook quickly backs up. Drawing his pistol, something making him mad.[/b] "That's what they said. All of them. They promised to help, but it's all lies."
-
"Look at yourself! You're sick, hurt."
-
"Do you think I don't know that!? I've been told that my entire life!" [b]Rook's tone of voice was getting harsher. He started pacing back and forth a bit faster. He had lowered the gun, but he still held it in his hand.[/b]
-
"Then why don't you fix it?"
-
"Fix it how!? I've tried medicine, it doesn't work. I've taken therapy, I've tried to fix my mind. But it keeps coming back, the torment just won't stop!"
-
"Maybe you let the torment in?"
-
"Maybe that is the case. But what am I supposed to do? I can't control every figment of thought that goes into my mind. And they always start talking, everyone of them, always bringing it back."
-
"So? I say listen to them! Listen to what they say."
-
"Listen to what they have to say!?" [b]Rook was shouting at this point.[/b] "I've had to listen to them all my life. I'd be dead if I didn't have the little bit of sanity trapped in the conflux of this torment!"
-
"Then quit complaining! You should be used to it!"
-
[b]Rook seemed furious, he looked at his sidearm in his hand, thinking about opening fire.[/b] "Get used to it!? Is that what I should do!? I can't fet used to something that has been terrorising my mind forever! I've nearly lost all the control of my pure right to think! I can't go to sleep because of them! And you think that I'll just snap out of it!?"
-
"Have you tried, just snapping out of it?"
-
[b]Rook quickly raised his sidearm at Watcher. He had nothing to say, he stood there silently, waiting to pull the trigger.[/b]
-
"Go ahead then. Let them fully consume you. Let them take all that you are."
-
[b]Rook stands silently. After a few moments Rook tries to talk, but can only mutter out a single word.[/b] "W-why?"
-
"You're the one pointing a gun at my head friend. I couldn't answer it if I tried."
-
"No, why do you want them to control me?"
-
[spoiler]Did you forget? [/spoiler] [b]Watcher simply looked down [/b] "Take me out. Go ahead, do it."
-
[b]Rook lowers his weapon, he turns around to walk away, unable to fire his weapon. He takes about two steps, when his AI can be heard yelling at him.[/b] [i]Rook, don't![/i] [b]Rook spins around, firing multiple shots at Watcher.[/b]
-
[b]Each of shots connect, but none of them go through His armour had stopped the advances, granted one of his ribs was definitely broken[/b] "Good work boy. Didn't think you had it in you."
-
[b]Rook stands motionless, not saying a word. He then drops his pistol, he falls to his knees. The blue light from his helmet is now off. Rook's AI now talks to Watcher.[/b] [i]Hey, you! You there! This was Rook's last failsafe, in a few seconds he will wake up but he has completely lost it. You can either run away, or you can end Rook's life. Your choice.[/i]

"End his life? Why would I do that! The boy is a natural he n Should be taught! Molded..."
