Woooo boy! So.
My predictions: Actually, scratch that, these are things I hope: Brother is alive. Not only that, Sol shares her Miasma to change her brother from having a useless, painful class to being a powerful sidekick.
“The whirring of machines buzzed in my brain, or perhaps it was anger. Big bro was just lying there, alive. Anger, no fury, eats away at my brain where relief should have been. I have suffered SO MUCH and he just lies there like the dead. My thoughts spiral into a strange place. I worried for him and there he was same as always. Sure, same as always is suffering, but it’s the same suffering as always! I live in terror of the new and interesting ways I crack and break and get put back together, while he lives in the SECURITY of knowing what his suffering will be like. A fierce jealousy makes me want to strangle him myself, make him feel the same terror I constantly live with. I want him to share my suffering- Ah, what a despicable creature I am. I puff out a breath and then breathe it back in. Somewhere along the way, tears had begun flowing down my face like melted ice cream down a cone. Hehe. He’ll never enjoy those things! I got to eat feasts and play around, which is so much better than lying there! Hehe. I’m so horrible, I’ve tricked everyone into thinking one worth saving. Look at what I did to Be-. Nope, nothing, nothing bad. If only he was filled with Miasma the way I am, remade into a horrendous but powerful and beautiful being. Would life be better for him then?”
