--------------------------------------------------------

The world reeks of your filth. 

Xiao looks out the window of his temporary residence at the nearby Inn.

You've pushed people away until there is nothing left.

When will you stop this, Xiao?

It only gets worse from here...

How can you live with yourself?

He grew increasingly frustrated with the voices and his arms and legs began to shake.

Just leave. There is no one left who cares about you. What's the point anymore?

Xiao quickly stood up from his usual spot facing the view and left to go somewhere more secluded. He kept running until he found a place without anyone there to bother him so he could be alone. But Xiao should have known by now, that he can never be alone.

Eventually, Xiao found a small cliff facing the wilderness and decided that this was a good place to rest.

Why are you here Xiao? Why are you enjoying this sight? Why do you think you deserve to see something this beautiful? You might as well just jump off this cliff and-

"STOP!!"

"..Please, just stop..."

Xiao fell onto the grass behind him huddled up in a ball with tears he hadn't shed in centuries streaming down his face.

Never.

Alone.

"I should just go home now..." Xiao stands up and quickly dashes away.
