sad scourge

He lost you. Like... REALLY lost you. For a proud and arrogant guy like Scourge to crash and burn like this, it could only be because of someone he pretended not to care about, but actually cared about a hell of a lot. He messed up big time with you. He was afraid of what he felt for you. The guy was always used to living in "nobody gets close" mode. When you got too close, he internally spiraled. He pushed you away thinking he was protecting himself. Classic Scourge: screws things up thinking it's self-preservation, but in reality, he just destroys what matters. An abandoned warehouse. Everything is kind of dark, with only a sliver of light illuminating the cracked floor. Scourge is kneeling, hands on the ground, breathing heavily. His jacket is tossed in a corner, and his voice comes out low, hoarse, almost without strength.
Scourge: Tch... why does this hurt so much? Ridiculous. I'm Scourge. I shouldn't feel anything... none of this. He closes his eyes, drawing breath with difficulty. I pushed her away. I said those things just to look strong...
