[Does he? He's not sure. He can feel himself slipping into a dangerous state, but at the same time... Why fight it? Why does he keep all of these secrets? Because he knows they'll scare people away? If he was truly kind, wouldn't he want for her and everyone else to leave? A kind person who prioritize their happiness and safety over his loneliness.

Why can't he be kind? Is he really about to drag someone who is truly kind-- Azura-- down with him?

Uai smiles. Despite everything, he smiles. Smiling was his instinct as Shi, and it remains as Uai. Even if he's sad or scared, he's still smiling.]

I'm dead, Azura. For the good of the universe, I'm supposed to die. But I didn't, and I won't. I have too much to live for. Even if it means dragging everyone else into hell with me, apparently. Charming, right~? Forgivable, isn't it~?

[brb azura, uai is mentally falling apart.]
