Orze's Records #30: Cheap Sympathy

Syca barged into my area and threatened to report my betrayal to Vaha, demanding that I discreetly steal Vaha's weapon blueprints. Syca mistakenly believed that he had uncovered my weakness. Although I found Syca's arrogance amusing, I realized... there might be a way to turn this situation to my advantage. Vaha, who tends to favor the weak, would surely listen to what I have to say. Syca tortured me, seemingly trying to control me through pain. I was thrown among abyssal creatures, and Syca watched as they stripped away my life energy. "A betrayer like you... I can't believe Yolu is hanging around with someone like you..." "...Syca..." I couldn't help but pity Syca, who muttered with emotions unchecked. Despite Yolu being unreachable, he still clung to a false perception, desperately clawing at nothing... "...You always reach out to those you cannot touch, don't you." "...How dare you...!!" Grinding his teeth, Syca unleashed more abyssal creatures upon me.
