[ well that does explain a lot about yves. what it doesn't explain is how anyone could treat him that way. demon.abomination.possessed by death. it's enough to drive a knife of familiar rage under his skin. if he could glow, if his skin could still crack with that otherworldly light, it would be. ]
[ yves wants to argue a little bit—he really does think that people do the best they can with what information they had. but... even he knows that this would have been hard for him to watch for anyone else. because it is yves, he can excuse it.

he doesn't know if he can go that far—the insults and rocks thrown at him, calling him a monster and a puppet, are still in his memory. the way that people whisper about him when they think he can't hear still lingers. but...
this sentiment is one that he holds close and cherishes. maybe one day he can believe this too. ]
... maybe one day. [ a beat ] I don't regret saving her.
She's... Ceres. Adolphe's younger sister from the orphanage. [ . . . ] They treat her worse than they treat me, really... They call her Death and believe that a curse follows her that leads to people's deaths. They blamed her for that fire but...
