....If you lose those people, then they aren't always gone - they're still with you. [ vax's voice is soft, there, affected - he thinks about their most recent loss, about everyone they've lost in the prism, but...
... his own life, too. some part of him has wondered - wouldn't it be easier to be forgotten? is it worse, to hope with some tiny, tiny part of him that his family, his friends, that they still remember him when he's dead and gone? he is gone, after all, fate-touched. just a walking ghost, a celestial without his wings, without his purpose.
... for now. always, for now. ]
... If you ask me, I think having them is worth the risk. [ for a small, meaningful moment, vax's eyes flick over to emet, when the wing curls a bit around his shoulder. ] It's better to love and lose than it is to have never loved at all.
And even if they're gone, you pick up the pieces, and you fucking hold onto their memory, and you keep moving. Everyone leaves a mark on you, Bass. 's how it's been to me.
