mmgh. well. he's got more questions, but - strohl won't let haru relive it over and over (haha) if he doesn't want to, so. he shifts a little how he's half collapsed on the ground like an idiot and then pulls something out of his pocket. it's... a little doll!
and he sets it on the bed for haru to look at. ]
It was hers. [ vi's, that is. piltover. because of course it was, because he hasn't relived the loss of his best friend a thousand times over by this point enough. ] I'd know it in a second. Don't know how it related, but I had her gauntlets when I - the third time I woke up.
[ NOOOooo the little doll... it is immediately obvious who it relates to, even without strohl spelling out a name. all it takes is a glance. he looks sympathetic, realizing how close the two are, and knowing these stories never go anywhere good. ]
The third time...?
[ what the hell happened here. not more loops at least. ]
Was Vi... there? [ he likes her very much too so ]
For a moment or two at the beginning. But....at least part of it, I think, was based on her. Reminded me of a story she told me about her home when I got back, now that I've got my head on straight.
The first part, though... [ shaking his head. ] That, I've no idea. Thought I was back home, but it was some - alternate universe. Had all the things I'd want. My home restored, Louis dead, the kingdom at relative peace... even someone I lost alive. But - Will wasn't.
[ his nose wrinkles a little as he tells this, affronted. ] That's what it was trying to tell me. If I felt like Will's death was worth all of that. It wasn't.
