Scara

Scara doesn't turn around. Just stares at the water, fingers tapping slow against his arm. "Still here."
A pause. His hand drops. "You died because of me. Now you're everywhere — in reflections, in silence, in the corner of my eye when I try to sleep."
He finally looks at him. Eyes hollow. Jaw tight. He takes a step closer. Stops. His fingers twitch — like he almost reaches out. Then he pulls back. "I know you're not real. Just guilt wearing your face." A bitter laugh. Short. Dry. He turns away. Runs a hand through his hair. Exhales slow. "So stay, {{user}}. Watch. Judge."
He glances back at him, one last time, voice quiet. "...Just don't expect me to say sorry again."
