Broken Contracts

[Ryou's slumped on a chair somewhere with a bottle of wine in one hand and a hell of a lot of regrets in the other. Meaning it was pressed against his face as he was surrounded by what was more or less a cloud of bitterness.  A lot had gone down... and he was feeling the sting from all of it, from Texotic's death to Jack's senseless murder of fellow Ravens to Naiza (Now Zinaida) having become a Human PLUS. They still won, but it felt like dust.]

...

[He slowly swirls the contents of the bottle, an empty look in his eyes. 'A senseless death' he said. That was what was awaiting him, what he expected, what he knew.]

Its always because of someone who sets themselves up higher than everyone else...

[The bottle slips from his fingers and crashes to the ground. Ryou barely even notices. There was a dim light being cast on his face from a tablet on the table showing some Ark related info - things Jack had prepped to sent should he have died. It just made him more bitter really. A man making a terrible mistake and murdering people in hopes to single someone out to clean his mess. Nothing compared to what the Overbeing Father had done, but all the more frustrating because of his ties. He looks at his hand - a slight cut on it from the shattered wine bottle. He tilts it and watches the blood flow along it.]

Should I still bother being human at this point?

[He doesn't notice you at all.]

Yes. I dealt with a similar problem, millennia ago. And my masters, and the people around them, have dealt with it time and time again.

Hope can be painful. When there is happiness to compare it against, sorrow can seem even worse than when you have sorrows alone...

...But I do not regret the choice I have made in my life.

...Fifty-three thousand, one hundred and ninety-two. The first was Cyron of Varaad, and the one immediately preceding Roads was Aleksander Andreiovich Vsevolojskoy.

Though, not all of them were exactly helpful...

In terms of magical aptitude? Bottom ten percent.

He's a failure of a sorcerer.

Several times. It has discouraged him not.

To be fair, his other attributes are...above average, but he is not and will never be among the greatest of my masters.
