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.

Of course. I will owe all of you.

Yeah, you all will.

But we'll worry about that kind of shit after we survive. Which we will, of course. Fear isn't giving up, so neither can anyone else.

I won't let him give up. If I have to browbeat him into trying, well, I suppose I have been training myself for that for months.

Just so you know, I hate you, but good luck.
