It is a cage.

[ his voice is firm on that. any place that locks you in. never offers a choice. never lets you leave. it may be a nicer cage. a favourable one. but dolph knows enough of cages, pleasant and cruel, to feel the bars. even the virtual reality he stepped in . . . that was a cage too.

it was just a cage with . . . alex. the alex he knew. the alex he loved. the alex he always thought existed. the good man. the man who loved him. a fantasy.

but that has often been the case with people loving dolph.

still. he takes some pity on akira now. ]


You're trying to convince of life. Of more. But I know all that. And I know the end. I hold both in equal measure. There's no escape.

Let it go, Akira. You have other people to see to. I'll be here. Until dream's end.

[ perhaps he should take that seriously. it is earnest. meaningful. it's not lead in his heart and in his chest, though the ache remains. or perhaps that's just the old phantom pain of being shot in the chest. tears mingled with the sound of gunfire. but maruki is here, listening to every word so dolph has little to fear. maruki wouldn't let anything happen to akira.

when the dream ends, maruki will claw them out. akechi and akira. maybe eren too. he doesn't know if they ever discussed it. they probably have.

but. not dolph. he'll be here. he has nowhere left to go.

still. it is a promise. an oath. dolph has made the same for people here. and he meant them. he always had. so he understands this too. it's strange, seeing the similarities. like a ghostly imprint. like the person he —

never mind that. ]


It's a long time away, I'm sure.

[ he smiles, reaching out to grasp his shoulder lightly. ]

Enjoy the dream for now.

[ his gaze darts away for a moment. it's not that he can't meet it, it's just — too similar. "I promise you, I'll get you the life you deserve."

he huffs finally. ]


Why not? Saves me the trouble.

[ yeah. fine. he was doomed anyway. might as well take it with grace. ]

Then just call me over. Whenever.
