"hhaahh.." Norton hummed so. He wasn't able to breathe properly, but what made the miner stop making himself breathe?
What made him slump down into his room, his back facing and laying on the door breaking down? That's exactly a good question.
The Mercenary and Prospector were matched together, and everyone doesn't know they are more than just companions.
But in this match, The Mercenary was ignoring him purposely like, did he do something bad? Why is Subedar ignoring him? And the fact what's worse, he only talks to the others but ignores him. He wasn't able to think anymore, Thank God's the match was a 4 man win.
Naib hasn't talked to the Prospector and honestly? Norton doesn't give a shit anymore trying to get for him and Naib to talk it out, he just ignores him like he was a mere ghost or something!
Norton didn't get to eat dinner, or say so, he doesn't want to because he has lost the appetite to. So here he is now, in his room dying, sorts of whining noise. As Norton finally was able to calm himself down after another meltdown or whatever the Emily said he always has when situations like these and such happen.
He was laying on his bed thinking about Naib, nothing negative, but also nothing positive. Norton was so zoned out until someone knocked on the door.
"I'm leaving this on your door, Campbell."
The muffled voice..it sounded like Naib. He got up immediately and rushed through the door to open it but as soon as he did, he was gone. He looked down to see what it was, it was..a letter? He picked it up and closed the door as he took the letter.
When Norton lighted up his candle and sat down, he opened the message.
To Campbell :
"Hello it's Naib. I'll make this straight up easy Campbell, I wanna end things with you. No I don't have any particular problems with you, It's just I've never loved you the same way you did. I'm sorry, but let's end it like this. Never ever talk to me or contact me in any way alright?"
- Naib Subedar .
The shuddered gesture the miner had left after reading the short letter. Why didn't he expect this? Is it really hard to love him?
As he was constantly overthinking, he started to have a meltdown again, Another whining noise coming out from his disgusting mouth. Norton was trying to even his breathes, but at the end, it wasn't manageable. His arms on the table, hands on his hair, trying to fight his way of stopping these stupid and falling tears. Nausea is rising up and it started to even hurt more.
Just why be with him, when he can't love me? What type of fool does that to a guy, oh yes, of course Naib Subedar himself would. But that was not really intentionally.. right? Norton thought of. He fell asleep sooner or later on his wooden table, leaving the note damped wet with his salty tears.
"Maybe in another universe, you'll be able to learn how to love me, or not."
