SayakaQuest Thread 10: Glory To The Death

Reader mode
[] We don't hate ourselves. Regardless of what Best Koko thinks, thats not the case. In fact, we're actually rather proud of what we've managed to accomplish. And that pride is probably the thing thats hurting this relationship the most. We've gotten too used to our healing making us effectively invincible, to the point where we've just stopped caring about consequences in battle. Its hard to see our body as something to protect when we can literally replace parts in moments, and the whole process is completely painless. We're over-reliant on our powers.

Now if someone can turn this into something appropriate for the situation, that'd be great.

Start of something maybe? idk I'm fucking tired

I think a "With enough time, experience or training maybe I can get good enough" should be added to the first line. A partially viable solution would go a long way to calm Kyouko down. At least she'd be able to help Sayaka instead of not being able to do anything but watch her get trashed over and over.

The Second line is still thinking about Kyouko instead of Sayaka though. I was thinking something along the lines of "I'd never let you witch out in front of me if I could help it, so I trusted you to clense me" at least that says something other than "I'll hurt Kyouko if I witch out" The first part about being reckless and stupid works and how it not being an excuse works though.

The Third line is pretty sound too. It shows that yes, Sayaka cares about living for more people than just Kyouko. While it's totally not what Kyouko wants to hear, it's about as good as it's gonna get. Lol codependent relationship and all that.

Still it gets all the major points accross:

1. Sayaka does in fact care about herself. It's not to the level Kyouko wants, but it's a start.
2. Sayaka explains why she doesn't care about physical injuries and why she can't aford to stop it.
3. Sayaka offers some hope of a solution to the problem, even if it's a far fetched one.
4. Liberal applications of self loathing.

I like the current bandwagon we have going but for the sake of discussion, might it be a good idea to ask for Kyouko's help? We keep saying we fucked up, we're a mess, etc., but if we actually ask Kyouko to help us, even if it doesn't amount to much in the long run, it still gives her some much-needed agency. Her big beef right now is that she feels powerless to stop us from destroying ourselves so why don't we give her some authority?

Eh, maybe wait for her response first? It's a good idea, but we don't want to overdo things in one post.

[X] Talk.

You let out another choked sob, before you let out a shuddering breath. You try to steady yourself, even when you so desperately want to start crying. "I-I wish I could promise that." You say. "I-I'm not strong enough-" You look at her and she just looks hurt. "I-I'm not good enough to do that. Maybe i-if I train enough I can g-get better b-but I can't promise you that without fucking breaking it." You hold her. "I-I'm so sorry, Kyouko." You say. "I'm sorry."

She doesn't say anything.

"I-I won't l-let my g-gem get that bad ever again." You say. "I-I was so fucking reckless and stupid and I should have kn-known-!" Your grip tightens. "How it'd hurt you and everyone and-!"

Kyouko buries her face in your neck. "Sayaka...you're still-" She stop talking when you interrupt her with another sob.

"I-it's not what I want to hear. I-I know." You separate. "B-but there are so many things I-I want to do with you. With mom. With everyone and..." You wipe your eyes. "I-I wanna be around to do it. I-I am going to survive." You don't sound convinced. "W-we will." You smile, even though there's a pit in your stomach. "Together."

"...Sayaka." She doesn't sound happy. She doesn't sound pleased. She still sounds hurt. "I...I want to believe you." She says. "I want to. I really want to. I'm trying my goddamned hardest to." She looks at you. "But I don't." You've never seen her looking this hurt. "...We're so fucked up, aren't we?" She mutters. "...And...and I don't even know if I'm much better than you." She sniffs. "This is all a fucking mess."

[OPTION SELECT]​
