Yes. In fact, I'd be surprised if he wasn't chosen. [ ... ] There isn't anything we can do about it. We will just watch him take out his anger on someone who is just as horrified to have done it.
They do not deserve the vitriol, no. They were horrified. Scared.
[ it's why he was so insistent on sticking close - not just because siffrin is his friend, but because he can't imagine how terrifying it'd be to know that you couldn't control yourself, and watch someone come at you like you meant to do it. ]
Marcoh and Siffrin are close. Or were close. We'll see if that survives.
We will see. I'm not a fool, I can tell he is not well and is being consumed by some ugly impulse, but he hardly seems to be attempting to resist it, either.
But maybe somehow he will recognize that Siffrin does not deserve to die by someone who hates them, nor is that anything close to what Uruha wanted for them.
I suppose I don't know all of Uruha's deepest darkest secrets, but I cannot imagine he would've wanted Marcoh to beat Siffrin to a bloody pulp in his honor.
[ ear flick. ]
We have done all we can to stop him from ruining himself. Now he has to decide if he wants to take the hands reaching for him or not.
