[You'd think Dave would have learned his lesson about anonymity, but maybe learning doesn't stick so well at ass in the morning when he can't sleep. At least it doesn't seem like he's really trying to mask his identity, here. It's just...a plausible deniability thing, maybe. Probably, given the content of his message.]

what
did you tell yourself
so you wouldnt
so things wouldnt get worse

[dreamsofahero]

That if I died it would make all my mother's sacrifice in vain.

That I wouldn't give them the satisfaction.

That if I could bide my time a little longer, then someday, I could put a stop to their atrocities.

did you
in the end
did you stop them

[dreamsofahero]

My father, my brothers, and their lackeys are all dead now.

*Dave can take that as he will; Sion won't deny he had a hand in a good number of those deaths...*

[dreamsofahero]

Who knows. It had to be done.

[callbacks]

did you have anyone else looking out for you
besides the friend

[dreamsofahero]

No.

*not until he was old enough to start plotting rebellions, but at that point it hardly counts as his childhood anymore...*
