ARES, OPT OUT

[PRESENT TIME]

[EROS' POV]

Weeks had gone by, it's like a sickening drug that was embedded in me and still doesn't released through my system. The hospital became my comfort room and doctors, nurses, and even familiar faces are the ones that I see. Except for the one that I most desired to see, my Ellis.

Comfort.

It's an easy word to pronounce and yet it became bitter whenever I get to experience that, it's like I don't need comfort. I just need him, I just need a resolution to the issue and get it fixed. But no, it's hard. It punched me in the guts and in my freaking brain to make me realize that I am not going to win this game.

That it's proving to me that whatever I do, it's the opposite of what's coming in the end. There's no point in having the effort if you knew that it will not be the solution that I will be having.
