Voice 8/24 so late I'm sorry

[Envy swallows hard. He's not sure how to respond at first, and when he does it comes out in a burst, his voice harsh and wavering slightly.]

But how can you say I'm better when I helped her pull you in! I lied to you too, I...

[She can't see it, but he's got a hand tangled tightly in his hair. He makes a noise that's almost a laugh, because what other sound can he make?]

You should hate me for what I did.

[He would hate him.]

[She wishes for the first time that they were face to face for this. Physical comfort is still strange and new, mostly an idea rather than a common practice, but the urge to touch Envy in comfort is strong.]

You did nothing different than any one of us.

I can't claim to know what it was like for you. But I know what it was like for me, for less than two decades and I was just some lucky find from some stranger in the desert. I can only imagine what you went through.

I hate her. You...you're one of the first things I can remember giving a damn about. One of the only things I gave a damn about, for a very long time.

[Envy's instinctive reaction is, as always, to say that no, he'd been fine and it wasn't that bad and he'd known what he'd been doing with Dante.]

[But somehow, he can't bring himself to say it right now.]

I bought into it, you know. That we weren't capable of feeling or caring about anyone. It was easier.

I don't know how you did it, but you got in anyway.

You weren't alone.

[These kinds of conversations are difficult at best, somehow moreso with Envy.]

And you aren't alone now. I...think of you as my family.
