Of course. I have a lot of people that would yell at me if I broke my word at this point.

[allyship]

... I can imagine. [...] And of course, we need to get you back to your daughter.

[ There's a soft smile at that and nods. ]

Yeah... I have to make sure not to leave her alone.

[allyship]

... It's been over a month now, has it? I imagine that's quite a long time for you to be separated.

It's a long time for us to be out of contact, but... She lives with my mother and with my job I don't get to see her as often as I'd like.

[








there's a pause where you can tell rochalizo wants to be like "your job pretending to be a masked man?" but he refrains.]

[allyship]

... Still, your love for her is clear, even to a stranger like me.

[ that word catches his attention. ]

It's true, but... Do you really think we're strangers? I know we didn't get to know each other that well, but I thought we were a bit more than that.

[allyship]

[dw my notif

he's quiet for a bit.]

... You never really know what someone thinks of you.

[ these things happen.

but he nods lightly. ]

Maybe... But you can hope to try to understand those around you the best you can.

[allyship]

... Well, I suppose that's why the Watchers keep giving us those ridiculous tasks...

That could be a big factor in it.

[allyship]

... May it be enough to keep this group together, then. At the very least, we've fractured less than I was expecting, weeks ago.

There are a lot of strong, good people. These ties we've made allow for a lot of pain, but also help us gather our strength. Now is when we need each other the most. On both sides.

[allyship]

... Would you be able to keep that attitude up if someone targeted one of the people you hold most dear here?

[his tone isn't accusatory; he's genuinely wondering.]

[sponsoredby]

I can't say I won't falter. And I've already lost someone dear to me. But I have to get up and keep going. Keep my heart strong.

It isn't easy. But it's what we need to do.

[allyship]

... Indeed.

[well, not that rochalizo has a choice, when he chose to kill one of the people most dear to him.]

Look after the others as well. If you fail in that, I'll haunt you.

[ He gives a wry laugh. ]

As long as you forgive me if I stumble once in a while. I promise I'll do what I can.

[allyship]

Hmph. I will generously pardon the occasional human error or two.

[sponsoredby]

You're too kind.

[ He can't help a small laugh at that. ]

I'll keep this as part of my strength to keep going. Thank you.
