But we are all dead here.... but I see you have always been dead where you came back from. I don't know how to warm a ghost up, but I don't want to aggravate your injuries either.
To me, that makes it less you and more who made it happen. I don't want you to take all the blame, but it's not as if I want you to forget how it felt either.
[ she unfortunately means that. she wants to touch him, but she's not sure where he isn't injured. even if he can't feel pain, it's not something she wants to ignore. ]
You weren't left alone for too long, were you? You came back together.
[ even if they all came back bloody and too close to death. ]

I think it's cold because ghosts are cold.
And apparently I'm always meant to be dead.

Okay, ghost Yves, who did you haunt?
no subject
[ soft, wondering ]
I didn't want to say goodbye to them, after they were so kind to me, so I didn't.
But... I ended up hurting them. Should I have just left before that happened instead?
no subject
[ she knows. ]
It depends on how you hurt them.

[ this is the picture she's getting. ]

he shakes his head ]
... it was mostly me.

When... I was buried, it was in the ley lines. So when they started to grow corrupted, when the Unmaker was trying to destroy everything...
I became a puppet.
[ you could even call him death's puppet ]
no subject
If you were made a puppet, is it really you?
no subject
Who else would it be? Maybe it wasn't entirely me, but it also wasn't entirely someone else.
no subject
The Unamker? Your intent... and your choices.... Did you choose it?
no subject
[ he shakes his head, because he is honest at least ]
It was something that happened to me.
no subject
no subject
I don't think I will.
[ just. a breathe in, and out. ]
It's hard for me to forget the moments I've turned a sword on my friends.
no subject
I'd remember the moment no matter what, if only so it'd remind me what I really want to turn my sword on.
no subject
It just... [ . . . ] It did cost our lives for it.
no subject
[ not alive, technically, but still alive. ]
Do you regret that cost?
no subject
[ his answer is so fast ]
... I just wish I could've paid it the same way that they did. But ghosts don't get to die gain, even when they want to.
no subject
Did that make you lonely?
no subject
at least he's open and honest with his emotions that way ]
... of course. I didn't want to be left behind. I wanted to go with them, even if it meant into death.
no subject

You weren't left alone for too long, were you? You came back together.
[ even if they all came back bloody and too close to death. ]
no subject
... no. Trying to face death together is the last thing I remember.
[ i hope you're ready to keep both of these threads until endgame ]
no subject
It is? You went through that and then showed up in a car trunk? [ ... ] Even if you're in this state, thank you for coming back, Yves.
[ we memshare back and forth and sit here until endgame. or you die. ]
no subject
I...
[ like he's trying to sort through both memories and words to correctly articulate the sentiment he wants here ]
... I did want to come back. I am... happier to be here.
