five ☠ video | open to both sides!

[lingeringfear]

[There's something distinctly different about Fear when he turns the video on this time. He seems even less human than normal, not breathing, not blinking, as if he's forgotten how to manipulate his form so that it actually appears lifelike.

He manages to move his mouth as he speaks, but the motion doesn't quite sync up with the words echoed in through the mic.]

...so I've finally failed.

[His eyes are unfocused, but he looks downward, contemplative.]

I only got half the city out. It won't be enough- we can't start over, not without Hope. So it ends here, I suppose.

[He takes in his first breath since beginning the recording, letting it out in a long sigh.]

I'm sorry.

so this is your way of telling me I'm going to die and that's it?
Fuck that. I haven't survived this long to die because you suck at your job

[lingeringfear]

Unfortunately, it seems like that's exactly what's happening.

Surprise.

[64th]

you're the one who fucked up, why am I the one being punished??

[lingeringfear]

The long and short of it?

Because I used you to try and save myself. I failed, and now you'll suffer the consequences too.

[survivorsguilt]

i plan to survive purely out of fucking spite at this point

[64th]

yeah, me too.
