⠀❛ death to the titans. and marley. ❜

slowly awakens from a long lasting slumber. it's been a few months since he last had been awake. alot has changed.

silently steps up to @Berthcldt, his eyes squinting slightly due to confusion. what was /he/ doing back here? did something happen to bring this traitor back to life?

⠀❛ so many deceased friends and foes have come back. what is this? am i dead? is this purgatory . . . ?❜
