[ there had been so many things he had wanted to do.
dextera had wanted to live—truly, this time, a decision made after walking through those memories for the sake of a quest. he’d wanted to make friends. all the people he’d met here, he’d wanted to become closer and closer to them.
minato, ochako, noctis... kaoru and shiho... joshua and estelle... even ryoji, who isn’t here anymore. even ryo, who dextera had slowly been able to call a friend, no matter the strange tension that hung between them. it was ryo he wanted to protect in the end, after all, and he hadn’t been able to do that.
and guren, guren—
all of those people, no matter what, he was glad he met.
dextera had wanted to continue to learn about life, to protect the delicate things he’d begun to nurture, and it was a true resolve to stay alive that had carried him up to this point. it was not strange for him to die—but it was strange to try so hard not to, and lose to it in the end anyway.
the rain washes away the blood as it comes down on all of them, and no part of dextera moves. ]
