[ Will's more or less got the gist of it. Skyler feels as though he's been living a life, but he has to go digging through Sora's memories if he wants the details. He didn't even have enough awareness to know he wasn't aware.
He doesn't want the memories of the past year, though. That's Sora's life, not his. Besides, that was what killed him, wasn't it? Becoming too Sora. Might as well step carefully around anything that might accidentally convince him to become a better person. Another Sora. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't, as far as he can tell.
Skyler's face doesn't move, but he does look off to the side. The stars are kinda nice to watch. ]
I was thinking about it a lot in the end. Got into a lot of fights hoping I wouldn't come back. Guess I was just chickenshit. He kept telling me that he didn't want this either, said that he'd found a way to fix it back when he was alive. [ He shrugs. ] Guess that makes me chickenshit and an idiot. [ For hoping at all. ]
I respect that. [ He looks over at Will again. No expression again, but he's quite serious. ] Fuck everyone but yourself. I shoulda leaned in as hard as you. Even if we ended up dead anyway.
cw for less frank but still there self-harm discussion
