[ he doesn't say anything at first, but catches onto that gasp. vax is much more sensitive to things like this than he looks, because he knows percy; he's seen him travel down this road before. the sharpness of his breath unconsciously gets him to squeeze his hand. ]
I know. [ ultimately, percy doesn't have to explain himself. vax stands in front of him for now, dark eyes on his face, brows knit together - ducking his head under until he can catch his eyes. vax is voice is quiet and intense, rough around the edges, but no less steady for it. ]
Look at me, Percival.
No one in this had a choice. Not you, not me, not the people who killed. [ and he means all of them - marie included. marie had no choice in those actions taken by whatever that other self was, the way percy didn't have a choice when orthax soaked into his veins.
after what he saw last week, vax won't let him fall back down that hole. not again. ] We all got dragged to this place. The only one here to blame right now is whatever fucking monster - god - whatever it is. Whatever dragged us here. I fucking hate it, too. Hate that it pushed Marie that far, hate that we get nine-fucking-hours to try and figure out half of it, just hate it.
She shouldn't have had to do that, but it's not her fault. [ it's not your fault. ]
