[It was hard, thinking back to that night, trying to confirm Kel’s question.
It was a hard question too.
One that Sunny had felt deeply himself, had he not escaped into his dreams, and even then… before those three days back home, he might have been content to spend the rest of his life in such a state.
But Basil…
Sunny nods, hesitant and small.]
I… think… [He had entered to talk, to attempt to at least, and Sunny had seen the sheers-
Everything will be okay.
-except it wasn’t. Basil had felt trapped into an inescapable pit, surely, one that Sunny had inadvertently helped dig.
If- if he couldn’t save his friend… he at least figured… maybe dying to try and do so wasn’t so bad…
After all…]
Can’t… my… fault… [He couldn’t save Basil, could he? Not by himself. Not as himself. But Kel had said that both of them had made it to the hospital so that… couldn’t for something, right?
Except for the fact that Sunny had ended up here, and Basil surely was feeling all sorts of things about that…
Just like Sunny had.
He didn’t deserve thanks from Kel. Even if the other meant well… even if Basil had been saved… it was still all his fault.]
