-Shakes his head and looks up at Aven-
What're we gonna do about it?
-Just looks at Steph like iiiiiionno-
Well, either way, I got someone on my side about it. Yeah!
-Throws his hand up for a high five-

mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's mean-Her arms gradually come down-
I- they did not even- I know I am part of it. I- I- thought that I could spark something, maybe- anything. Reconciliation, discussion, productivity- unity. Any of it. Any of it at all.
But- I cannot. I do not know why. I was wrong, I was stupid, and I know I was. I could have handled it better, but I- I did not.
I would do anything. Anything! I am willing to die to heal things, but it will not go anywhere. I have tried so hard. I have abased myself. I have prostrated myself as best I- as best as I know how. I have tried to be humble. I have tried to be kind, to put others always before myself.
My words mean nothing. My actions cause no change. My death would have changed nothing. Nothing. Nothing at all. But I would have still done it. I must still do it.
I am awkward, I am stupid, I am useless, but I am a protector. I will not stop and I will not rest till things are done.
-Is absolutely incensed, but with herself and not anyone else-
-She goes and picks up her hammer, resting it on her shoulder confidently and coolly-
Please! I know that I did something wrong. Something terribly, terribly wrong. I misjudged everything, and I have contributed to the problem I tried to stop.
I will listen to everything you have to say. I will accept any and all criticism you may level at me. I will weather any discomfort I must. We must fix this. I implore you!
Enough with feeling sorry for yourself, for god's sake! It's not going to make anything better!
Everything's going to hot shit, and we have people who won't shut up about their existential crisis, people won't shut up about how much they hate everyone else, people who won't stop PANICKING, people who won't stand the fuck STILL for ten seconds, I have a relationship crisis I STILL have to work through...I have a LAUNDRY LIST of complaints, but I'll cut it there!
You want to know how to help? You shut up and do your job!
-He turns to face everyone else, also looking over at Fen and Cloud-
EVERYONE needs to shut the hell up and do their god-damn job! And that's me, included! I don't care what YOU think of it, I don't care what anyone ELSE thinks of it! You do your job and help us all succeed in keeping the fucking End of Days from happening! Whatever hangups you have with anyone else can be dealt with LATER!
No more of this chest-beating, shit-slinging, confrontational bullshit! Fun Time's over, it's time we took this seriously!

-Aven watches the two of them walk off-
....
-He lowers his mechanical arm, and rubs his forehead, looking at the others with a look on his face like he's about to just snap at the absurdity of it all-
....I'm getting tired. I'm up to here. We're trying to kill each other, now!
