He'd come out here to try and figure his thoughts out, maybe come to some sort of self-actualization about his life as a Shade and how he'd killed his sister and Javert wasn't right about him being deserving of this.

So having a swan swim up to him and then get catty with him had honestly just been too much.

Absolutely zero chill can be had here, though he doesn't scream so loudly this time.]

Yes, I'm WhiteWizard, and a whole lot of good it did for me to show my face on that network. I can never fight against my circumstances, as you see--I will always be wrong! As if I didn't already have enough to worry about, now I have some fucking religious zealot to worry about for all my continuing problems.

[Oof. Baggage much?

Look...I came out here to relax. It clearly isn't working.
