[Blue was ready to let it go, to just let that be his slip that he let out without meaning to and reel back in so he didn’t make another mistake—]
[Too bad he can’t shut himself up.]
Not enough to ever bother talking to me all that time! [It comes out angry and half-choked, and he’s pretty sure his eyes are welling up a little, not that Red can see. But of course he regrets saying it, like he regrets ever thinking or talking about those years. It would be better if they had just never spoken again, just gone their seperate ways so Red could be happy with a new life away from Blue in some other region. Blue should have been the one to disappear—]
[He realizes he’s panting hard into his comm, probably between the anger and the holding back the emotions trying to spill out, and he suddenly catches his breath, holds it, and stumbles up. He has to find Arcanine. He’s gotta go... somewhere. Somewhere with a beach.]
