Part of this will become a running gag, sorry everyone-
So. The dining hall. Food.
Again.
But hey, at least there were actual food, and thus not an opportunity to pass up. Especially given Vinzent’s general health. At this point, he’ll take what he can get. And he will try. The only thing he sincerely hopes is the food is good. That’s it.
Picking a seat strategically away from some people, Vinzent was content to eat his meal by himself.
That said, if someone that he appreciates joins him for a conversation… He won’t say no, but he… Felt like he had to be extra careful. Especially depending on who it is. Mostly for their own good, rather than his. As he made sure to keep his mask on and secured, he brought his knees to his chest after the meal, pretending to check on his shoes, Vinzent was… Uneasy.
The uncertainity on who he could talk to, especially after the big crisis he had experienced in the previous car. The fear of losing control of himself again, the fear of actually harming someone…
It’s so… Real. It can happen anytime.
And if it was Abel or Matsukaze in particular? Vinzent will never forgive himself. Especially because Viper cares about both of them.
And then… The incident.
Can he live with himself, can he even forgive himself? Can… This not happen, ever again? Can he actually find the time to heal? To not want to keep it all to himself all over again?
… Can he keep more than one friend in this train? Do they care enough about him? Or is it better to keep more of his distances…? Vinzent made no effort to actively approach anyone right now, that’s for sure. And he is warily looking around, ready to take his distance if Viper is around. He doesn’t want to deal with her. He doesn’t want to make her existence more miserable than it already is.
And even so… She probably gets more care and love than Vinzent ever will in here. Not like that matters.
it hurts, go away
Make yourself small, unnoticeable… The best you can.
But in spite of his new clothes for this car, both his long brown hair tied in a ponytail and his ears piercings, made it not exactly difficult to spot him, with enough focus. … Would you try to chat with him?
