Summary
Whenever you see an injured bird, your first thought is how vulnerable it is. How easy it would be to break it, to tear the flesh and bone and feathers, to wrench its wings from it’s body. The part of you that is still a war slave catalogs the weak points, the places to find as to tear if more easily. The beast thinks about how to use the flesh, the bones, the feathers. How to take every part of it for yourself.
You don’t listen to your first thoughts often.

Summary
Fear has dug it’s heads into the gyri of her brain, and caresses the sulci with delicate razor sharp fingers. Her thoughts fall disjointed, out of order, scattered. Primal panic overrides her higher brain functions, shuts off all unnecessary tools for survival.
She has lost her faith. And now all that’s left is the sensation of being followed. Of faintly hearing footsteps that stop whenever she stops walking, of flickering shadows and a sicking feeling in her chest. She has spent so much time under somebody else's thumb, so much time as a tool, a pawn, in somebody else's game. She though she escaped.

Summary
why does life slumber? because life slumbers. it is a tautology, a truism — it is akin to saying red is the opposite of green because green is the opposite of red. it’s recursive — they ask the dreamers, why does life slumber? they do not ask the ones who've never been in a dream, who’s whole life has been looking out into the snow. she thinks that if your life was different, you would have a different answer, and after every id-suicide, you would have a different answer.

Let it spill onto your teeth,
Canines sharp. You, pink
And devoted, cunning and
Cruel. You, the mirror of
Her. The thunder.

That matters.) -

Dear Mr. Sir Grace,
This is Abby from your eighth grade class. We have a substitute teacher called Mr. Tyson. He is not nearly as good as you. We don’t play with a lava happy-sack. We read out of a textbook.

Summary
It’s too much to take in. She is a quick study, but her eyes burn. Her throat. Her chest. She absorbs the details without listening. Racoon, Rockfort, Europe. A dozen places in between.
‘They wanted you,’ she says, eventually.
Days have passed, weeks. No news of him, but she’s assured he’s well. She stares out of the windows. Is he on the field again? Back out there, facing the next one? Saving the next damsel?
She cannot afford to be a damsel. She turns back to the papers. Names, dates, names, dates, chemical formulas, dates, names, formulas. There are reams of it.
‘How do we stop this?’ she asks, but there is no answer. She is alone in the room. Bass thrums in her ears. It drowns out the whispers. Whispers, whispers, whispers, constantly behind her ears.[Ashley, post-game.]

Summary
Every time you fall in love, it's supposed to be slightly different. And losing it is supposed to feel like losing a limb in your grief.
Leon stared up at the ceiling in the dark. Grey and pockmarked, crumbling into night sky. He supposed that at this point, he must be bioengineered himself to have survived losing more limbs than he was born with. But it was too hard to not fall in love. It wasn't romantic or lofty, he just simply loved over and over and over again in slightly different ways a thousand times like the same outcome wouldn't occur every single time.
One week ago, Chris Redfield had called.
