a/n: zayne my boo <3 im sobbing over the fact that the game killed off mc’s grandma and caleb 😭
.
ミ★ Love & Deep Space ミ★
pairing: zayne x fem!reader
warning(s): mentions of death, mentions of the explosion that killed mc’s grandma + childhood best friend (caleb) in game, spoilers(?)
Summary: Ever since that day, you’ve fallen in a deep, dark pit. Why did you have to be the one that they decide to destroy? Why did Caleb and Grandma have to die? Is it your fault they did? Zayne, as your primary care physician and a family friend, is concerned for your well-being.
“Sometimes, a small gesture is all it takes.”
Tumblr media
The sound of the news on your TV, the thundering rain outside, the sound of the cars driving by your apartment—it all blurs out as you stared at the TV screen, eyes dead and unfocused on the news of the Wanderers attacking and the explosions. Some 22 casualties, two deaths. Grandma and Caleb. His necklace that you bought him as a goodbye gift when he left for the Aerospace Academy sits beside a picture of you, him, and Grandma on the coffee table, the cheerful smiles making you wished that you could revisit time.
Your apartment, once somewhat organized and clean, is now messy with things being knocked down and dirty dishes long discarded. You stare at the one last thing your Grandma left for you, some..tablet(?) with a final letter on it. You haven’t gotten the energy or the ability to open it. It pains you, seeing that you haven’t visited for so long yet when you do, this was the time her house had to explode right in front of you, flames engulfing the house and the only thing that remained was Caleb’s necklace.
“I miss you, Grandma..” You mumbled to nobody, rubbing the tears threatening to spill out your eyes as you glanced down at the item she left you with. Besides that, a small box of her old recipes of those notecards, and other small things that she had entrusted to you years before.
Around you was your laptop, papers and files on the latest Wanderer attacks around you. Yes, Captain Jenna dismissed you and said that you should take some days off to regain your energy, since you haven’t been getting the sleep or the energy you needed, but you just couldn’t.
Your door opened, yet you didn’t bother to look at who entered. “Still sitting in front of the TV?” A familiar voice spoke out, flipping the light switch on and shutting the door behind him. It was Zayne, a long time family friend and your primary care physician. “You haven’t eaten,” he bluntly says as he sets a bag of food on your table and walked into the kitchen. He bites back a sigh, knowing that you were going through a tough time, and people tended to discard everything and grieve and grieve their hearts out.
“Hello to you too, Zayne,” you replied as you shut off the news and got up off your sofa. You pile up all the papers and files you’ve scattered around and set them on the coffee table before you walk into the kitchen as Zayne is cleaning up your dirty dishes. He checks in on you whenever he’s free or when he’s off his shift. He looks back at you, only making a small hum of acknowledgment before cleaning up your dirty kitchen. You looked terrible—eyes red and puffy from crying, obvious eye bags, and the sparkles from your eyes were gone.
You yawn as you take out a bowl and some utensils for whatever food he brought in for you. You unpacked the bag as he cleaned up the dishes you couldn’t bother doing last week. Potatoes, avocado on the side, tuna salad, salmon and rice you said to yourself as you took out the food that he had carefully backed in those plastic containers for you. Then you took out the last thing. Cookie..dough? He remembered your favorite childhood snack. The kind of cookie dough you liked.
“Your grandma gave me a recipe for the cookie dough. She said that if she couldn’t make it, I should since it lightens your mood,” Zayne says as he puts your clean dishes back into the cabinet. He dries his hand off before walking over to you, watching how you stare at it like a piece of gold. Disbelief and shock were etched on your face.
Zayne puts his hand on your back, soothingly rubbing circles as you opened the container and took a bite. Your eyes almost brimmed with tears again. You could remember how your grandma used to bake in the kitchen and you’d always sneak a bite or two of the cookie dough, no care in the world if you could get salmonella.
“Thank..you, Zayne,” you finally said, turning around tightly hugging him. He was a bit hesitant at first, but he put his hand on your head, massaging your scalp as he looked down at you with a gentle look on his face.
“..You’re welcome. I miss her too.”
Zayne’s eyes looked away at the picture on the counter of your grandma. She didn’t have to go out this way.

Nothing can describe the way my heart shattered when Arthur asked if Dutch was going to go look for him after he was kidnapped by Colm in chapter 3- all he got was a "Oh of course, son" in the most pitiful, unassured tone of voice I'd ever heard from Dutch.
The three of them had set up a meeting point at "the fork in the road" if the O'Driscoll parlay went south, Arthur seemingly disappeared and didn't return for another day or so until he was physically crawling trying to get back to camp, and still nobody questioned where he was?
Yes, it's typical for Arthur to wander and find his own way home after missions, but the key word is AFTER. Arthur disappeared DURING the meeting and didn't regroup at the designated rendezvous point AFTERWARDS.
Especially dealing with the likes of the O'Driscolls, wouldn't that ring some kind of alarm? If not from Dutch or Micah, then wouldn't anybody else at the camp question it?
I imagine an (exaggerated) conversation like this probably happened if anyone at camp asked:
"Hey Dutch how was the meeting with the O'Driscolls?"
"It went fine we talked a bit then they left suddenly so weird"
"Where's Arthur then?"
"Oh I don't know we didn't see him after we split up for the meeting haha probably wandered off again typical Arthur"
God, if you're going to treat Arthur like the gang's workhorse, then act like you care about him at least.
Arthur is strong, but he isn't invincible.

Thinking about it now, little Sora might just’ve been straight up traumatized by the thought of a meteor crashing on the island, that his brain forcefully ended up making him forget about it. That’s a normal trauma reaction to some people, it’d confirm the fact that the COM scene did happen and Sora was the scared one, especially since Riku actually remembers it.
Tumblr media
In KH1 Sora’s memory of the hidden place literally changes the sentence where he mention the meteor shower to just “did you hear”. Yet, when they later show Riku’s bit of the memory, Sora is talking about “the meteor shower night”.

Do you also know what kind of traumatic-meteor-crashing-looking event Sora forgot?

Thinking desperately about Gardener in Citizen Sleeper.
That ending, the offer they made, was the most heartbreaking, understanding “no” I’ve ever given in an RPG
My Sleeper touched peace. Touched a way of being among the green and the mycorrhizal networks that was beyond pain, beyond exploration, beyond a sense of self. You were holding the crown in your hands that could take you there. You *earned* that crown and the audience it granted you. You saw peace and touched a serenity that wasn’t untethered from the space station but instead *grew* from it, growing food and drugs out of nothing but love.
The Gardener was removed, but caring. An intelligence fashioned from the awareness, the *souls* of plants grown for beauty and survival in the hard vacuum of space.
You found all this because you and your scientist friend were curious. You had no agenda beyond wonder and bloody-mindedness.
You touched something new and different and grounded and safe. And it invited you in. No threat, just an extended hand. A way to stop the pain.
And I said no.
And it hurt.
You have to go back to The Eye. Half-derelict. Torn apart by corporate machinations. Stinking of desperation. Your refugee prison. Your safe haven. You have friends and enemies and rivals and bosses and lovers on this station and they’re all exploiting or exploring or running or hiding or
I chose to be a sick person. On the run.
I chose pain.
It wasn’t noble. I didn’t like it.
But my Sleeper had fought and bled to define themself. They had a few connections. A few dear friends. Unfinished business
And those don’t translate to the greenweave of the Gardener’s secret world.
And when the game asked. Told me to choose. Peace or pain.
I got up from the table. And it hurt.

So I just finished my first play through of Hollow Knight, and...
Wow. What a phenomenal game.
This is the first game to make me cry. Ever. the ending was so beautifully done. The music was soul crushingly beautiful and haunting, the animation was gorgeous, the fight was awesome, and the end had me crying and just repeating "wow". I can't believe I haven't played this before.
This journey was incredible (and difficult) but I'm so glad I've been able to play this masterpiece. 10/10.
Also my roommate was watching me play and when I finished the first ending he said "That was so tragic," and he went on to talk about how sad it was to watch the Hollow Knight stab themselves over and over before we ultimately took their place.
Gonna get the next few endings soon!
