[ video -> voice | un: keith ]
[The video was brief, kind of like that moment when you activated the camera on your phone and forgot it was in selfie mode. The omni shook and rotated, leaving the viewer with a dizzying array of scenery that was kind of blurry and hard to make out. It was dark, though, like the person broadcasting was in a closed room with no lights on.
As the video shifted, glimpses of a person could be seen. A hand... the fingernails-turned-claws bitten down short as if trying to cover the transformation... a burn scar on the right side of a face... dark, almost black, hair with a purple tint, long-ish, shaggy looking, a thin white streak with a extremely slight violet hue to it near the left temple... pale skin... deep cobalt eyes that looked exhausted with dark tired bruises underneath from lack of sleep...]
Shit-...
[And the video was gone. It was just voice now, Keith's voice, but raspier than usual, worn sounding, loaded with regret and guilt and just... sad.]
I um... [He was hesitant. Unsure.] I wanted to... apologize. [His tone faltered, like he was searching for words, having trouble forming them and getting them out.] I... I did a lot of stuff last month. Just um... Yeah. The Reckoning took care of it.
But... if you still want... you know. Fine. I understand. I won't stop you.
[And then the feed shut off.]

Time helps, but I also find that a little bit of food in the stomach also helps some. It makes things feel normal. The simplest of things can help, wouldn't you agree?

[He actually did give a weak chuckle at that. So, he managed to eat. And Vira-Lorr wasn't wrong. Keith definitely started to feel a little more normal with food in his stomach. It was a good distraction to focus on that, focus on getting a drink now that they actually had food to make sure things didn't go too badly, just... trying to feel normal.]

[And honestly, sometimes the simplest solutions were the best. It was easier to face the difficult times in life on a full stomach with the companionship of a friend, after all. Or at least that was Vira-Lorr's cunning plan in htis entire endeavor, and it seemed to be working like a charm.]
