monochromatically: (Watching carefully)

Mono finds himself a little confused by that. They both… have experience with this kinda stuff? They know what he’s talking about, at least a little? He’s not sure where to start with that, and he is a little afraid of getting his hopes up… But Ignis and Nida never lied to him, had they?

The boy started with the question, his face scrunching a bit while he tried to think if there was. His voice is still rather quiet, because talking about what happens isn’t easy for him, even with the time and distance from that place. “Maybe…? I don’t… um…” He tugged the thread lightly, taking a breath and trying to settle the slight fizzle of the energy that leaked around him. “Stuff gets fuzzy when it starts over, till I end up back at the bottom of the tower. But… Maybe if Six doesn’t drop me after I save her? When we’re almost out, stuff’s all falling apart because the thing in the tower tries to stop us from leaving.”

Tries to stop him more, he thinks. Its eyes are always on him as they run. “And then when I try to jump to across to the exit she catches me but um… I think she still is mad at me. I think… ‘cause instead of pulling me up, she lets go and then I fall really far.” And then that’s that. “So if maybe she didn’t drop me… Or maybe if she doesn’t got a reason to be mad at me or need to be saved at all? Since I got so scared when the man showed up, I couldn’t stop him from catching her… That’s why I go save her.”

And maybe that was why? Maybe she couldn’t forgive him for that? Or maybe it was something else. He doesn’t know, he just knows that even after he saved her, she decided to let him go.
