It’s Where My Demons Hide

[Cira]

But then you'd have never known love.

And Mara is the apple of Jorus' eye.

Ayden wouldn't have his support.

Everything is connected, one way or another.

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

"Ayden doesn't use me for support." He corrects quietly, looking at her.

"But you're right. Everything's corrected. Just like you're now connected to my pain."​

 

[Cira]

It is support. One way or another.

You know what you do for him each and every time.


Her golden eyes would watch him quietly.


I'm only connected to your pain because you make it so.

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

"The hell are you supposed to be connected to? My happiness? I don't even think that's possible."

 

[Cira]

Why?

Would come her singular husky question.

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

"Because it only takes 1.3 seconds for me to hit the ground after you throw me from the window..."

 

[Cira]

And I told you to keep out of my affairs -- and my office.

Never stopped you.

What's your point?

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

"Point is, Cira. You've been the cause of a lot of my pain. But you've also caused some of the happiest moments of my life." He sighed. "I can't see you in a solely happy light. Just can't do it. You were taken from me. Your body was taken from me. Hell, you did everything in your power to keep yourself from me."

There was a pause as he scratched his head. "And now that you're dead you wanna talk? I don't get it."

 

[Cira]

Death is only the beginning.

You of all should know better than this.

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

"Ain't ever been dead."

 

[Cira]

But you know of those who walk that fine line... And come back every time.

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

"Yeah, but they don't actually die in the process."

 

[Cira]

So Ayden doesn't?

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

"We already discussed this too and you acted like this was a terrible idea."

 

[Cira]

It is.

You don't know what you are going to end up with.

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

"I'd end up with you."

 

[Cira]

What if I ain't me?

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

"You'll always be you."

 

[Cira]

What makes you so sure?

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

"Because I don't think I've ever fully met the real you. So for all I'd know, I'd get back the perfect you."
