"We don't need to be reminded of that!" Zexion snapped, glancing aside with a bit of tension straining in his throat. Fear was the primal, instinctive reaction to the unknown of a threat closing in. Of course it was something he could experience for himself, backed into corners and taunted while he could only muster weakness. His eyes darkened.
"How am I supposed to want anything more than that?" He sighed roughly, hanging his head. "I want to be avenged. I want to be forgiven....I want to earn it, not use deceit that can be found out and punished even further. I want to belong to something that, for once, will not fall to pieces all around me!" By the end of that, he's laughing hollowly at himself for how pathetic those wishes sound.
"But I want that all for you, Ienzo, I want you to carry it for me, because I have nothing left in me that you are not greater-than. Do you understand?" For that instant, he almost seems plaintive, reaching to cradle the side of Ienzo's face. "And I want to be able to trust you won't need me any longer, before I am forgotten completely."
