should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
we saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
there are things that we can have, but can't keep

Life was nothing more than a learning experience filled with many trials and errors, and even in this game, that rule still stood. Only the time for experiments slowly ticked away. Time wasn't on his side to figure the perfect way to attack out. Early on, holding the weapon felt easy, but once Cesare crumbled, it all fell away in the blink of an eye, and Zeke didn't know why. It taunted him, and even now he could hear his friend telling him what to do and how to hold the weapon. But even that it's failing because he's done nothing more than attempt to poke at the prey. At least he was still alive.
An exhausted heart pound at the walls of his chest, and part of him was glad that it was something nobody had to think of especially now. Even standing became difficult. At home Zeke had time to take rests by having some off time. Here in games, off time didn't exist. He just kept going, fighting, surviving, and it was growing old quick. Even as the thunder rolled, and the waves crashed against the rock he was standing on, the healer didn't move. Staying awake was hard, holding his weapon was becoming impossible, but to give up now would mean entering the eternal rest he wasn't prepared for.
Red. That was all he could see as a raging stream gushed from his head. It burned his eyes, it filled his nose with the metallic scent he tried his hardest to stay away from. Memories of the times he failed came pouring into his mind. A broken child fell into his arms as his mother begged for them to save him. A son dragging his father behind him - "It was an accident I swear." Dismembered bodies resting on the tracks after being hit by a train.
Cesare being cut to pieces.
Dove losing her leg.
Of all the times he failed to save someone he cared for.
It almost brought him to his knees. His stomach churned leaving a disgusting taste in his mouth, yet he chose to stand tall. To not let her see how bad she truly hurt him. The wound wasn't bad, but it ran much deeper than that, and Zeke tried his best to hide it.
Wiping the blood away, Zeke turned away trying to gain his composure. Turning away from the opponent may become a mistake, but in that moment none of that mattered. Faline could kill him right now if she wanted to.
The waves looked mesmerizing and running to them felt like a better option. Just escape the pain. Run away from the ghosts of his past. It was suffocating him. Each breath caught in the back of his throat, and only when he turned back around did the trapped air escape.
"Just keep fighting. It's all we can do."
It's all I can do.
Nothing mattered anymore. Death was calling, and only one would answer.
He owed it to them to keep fighting.
