Terra and Esper Terra by Yoshitaka Amano for Magic The Gathering

fear might be the death of me.

scared of my own image / scared of my own immaturity.

⠀ ⠀ I could say the same thing to you. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ Alright. I was going to ask where you worked exactly. I knew tax collecting wasn't your real job. Why did you lie? ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ Then I would leave in cuffs if you so wished to do so. If that is my way to repent, then I will gladly do so. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ O-Ow!? Why did you do that!? I was being serious! 💢 ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ Why wouldn't you want to arrest me? I'm giving myself up. I'm not sure if I'm wanted, but an individual with a mutated Persona can get you brownie points at your job. That would be an easy raise. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ❪ Lifeless eyes were forced to look up. Not even a smudge of expression was painted onto her pale face. ❫ ⠀ You'll have to at some point. And it'll be okay. I'll go if that's what it takes to show my remorse. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ❪ That spunk ... oh, how familiar it was. She giggled. ❫ ⠀ I don't doubt you. Between you and me, I think you have more of a chance than anyone. You're strong. I can feel that. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ My ... arm. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ❪ Her smile never faded, though there was a sadness in her eyes. There it was, that guilt. Glassy tears threatening to fall. ❫ ⠀ And I'm Sakiko. Sakiko Yayoi. It's a pleasure to meet you, Asuka, though this is not our first time. ⠀ ⠀
