    Summary

    It's eerie. It's suffocating. It usually means something bad's about to happen. Not to mention, it brings out Ben's Tinnitus. Just when Ben thinks his future has been assured, things go silent. You might think a life of constant fighting is hard, but when surprise attacks come and go with no one to fight, when the enemy operates undetected, when you can't even tell who IS the enemy, Ben may find it harder to just sit and wait for the next disaster to hit. It's even worse if there's no one left to wait with him. Because then, he waits in silence.

    Summary

    “Speaking of rumors,” Riyo said while nibbling on the remaining chicken nugget. She should have gotten more. “There’s talk about someone falling from the sphere again.” The other two raised silent eyebrows and she shrugged at the unasked questions. “Dunno. I believe some traffickers claim they found a Sphereite, alive, apparently.”

    Zanka scoffed. “Sounds pretty fake if you ask me. Probably just want to squeeze money out of people and end up giving them a skeleton they found in No Man’s Land. Who survives a fall from the sky?”

    Riyo shrugged again. “It’s just rumors.”

    Enjin rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “I like rumors,” he said. “Should probably go check it out.”

    --

    Or: What if Rudo hadn't gotten picked up by Enjin in No Man's Land but was instead captured by the traffickers and the Cleaners rescue him later on.

    Summary

    “Why do I feel like I’m crawling out of my skin?”

    “Probably because you just got a money shot from a plant from the Upside Down,” Steve grits out between his teeth, “This is the last thing I needed today, god, I can’t do anything right.”

    Summary

    He kicks at her, wriggling, trying to free himself from her grasp. Curse this stupid vessel and its laughably weak upper-body strength! He bites down on her arm—and that's it, she thinks. She's a good mother. She's never laid a hand upon her own children, and she likes to believe she's never even considered it. She doesn't even think she's hit Abaddon until the redness in his skin becomes impossible to ignore; it's a stark comparison to the rest of his deathly pale skin. It reminds her of blood splattered on snow.

    Summary

    Rudo doesn’t remember a time his hands didn’t hurt. It’d be weirder for him to try and imagine a time they didn’t hurt, because then he’d be making shit up, and Rudo was never good with his imagination. Not with things he didn’t understand, couldn’t understand. It just made him… weird. Well, weirder. Distant. The thoughts would spiral, spinning and spinning till they left him dizzy, body threatening to throw up all his gross, rotted insides all over his shoes and then he’d be pissed off and confused and… empty. So, so empty. But then the pain would remind him he was real and rotted and then he wouldn’t feel so empty because the pain would fill him up, up, up. No empty space left to worry about.

    That pain was everything, it was all he’d ever known. That persistent, prickling, nerve pinching pain of whatever fucked up shit his parents persecuted their infant son to has been like a phantom in his bones since before, well, just before. Before Regto. Everything before Regto was bad and terrible and something to be forgotten. Before Regto was painful, pure agony. And now, after Regto…

    It was unbearable.

    Or: This is a story about hurting. This is a story about healing.
