Scarr approaches
"Hello?"

Devin: hi....

"Who are you?"

"devin..."

"Hello, my name is Scarr. What are you doing here?"

"......."

"Hello?"

"i'm lost."

"You're lost?"

"in a way...."

"Is there any way I can help?"

"i don't think so....."

"Oh.."

*looks down*
"it's pretty high up..."

He looks down
"Yeah."

"looks pretty easy to fall from here...."

"Call of the void?"

"hm?"

"When you stand on a ledge, you get the urge to jump?"

"i just want it to end."

"What?"

"pain"

"Oh.."

"yeah"

"..Are you gonna.."

*grips the ledge*
"yeah."

"What even happened?"

"on top of depression, everyone i know has died, i've lost my wings and my mind....."

"Wow.."

"y-yeah...."

"I'm sorry.."

"..."

"But maybe offing yourself isn't the way."

"what else is there for me?! i lost everything!" *lets go of the ledge*

"Wait!"

"WHAT-?!"

"You still have your life! Don't compromise that!"

"what is the point of having one anymore?!"

"Things will get better!"

"you don't know that!"

"You just gotta hope!"

"I LOST HOPE WHEN I WATCHED BOTH OF MY DADS DIE IN FRONT OF ME!!!"

"I watched half my race die in front of me! And yet I'm not committing suicide!"

"this is bullshit! you're trying to one up my F**KING FAMILY DYING! so far you haven't convinced me that i shouldn't jump!"

"I'm not one-upping you! I'm trying to help!"

"screw this!"

He sighs
"Shit.."

*they stand up*

"I implore you to reconsider.."

"no. i made up my mind."

"What if I can help?"

"how."

"...Look.. I know you've been through shitty times, trust me, I understand. But suicide isn't the way out."

"then what is."

"You could try getting help from a psychologist or something?"

"you think i haven't tried?"

"You could try talking to someone."

"anyone who listens gives me the same thing. a one-way ticket to the insane asylum."

"I don't think you're insane."

"thanks"

"Do you want to vent?"

"i want people to not label me as crazy"

"I don't think you're crazy.."

"then you're the only one."

"I"m sorry about that.."

"why are you sorry. you did nothing wrong"

"I don't know."

"look there's nothing you can do." *stands up*

"Please, don't jump.."

"...i just wanna wake up from this nightmare." *they look down* "no wings to save me now."

"If you die, you'll never wake up again."

"you can't convince me- you don't know what i've lost, or my story...."
*before you even process it, Devin begins to plummet to the ground*

"Shit.."

*they land on the cement ground*

He sighs

*you stare in horror at the scene unable to look away no matter how badly you want to, in shock. you knew they weren't kidding when they said they'd do it but seeing it happen and thinking you could've done better was filling your head with emotions*

"I can't believe he just killed himself.. I can't believe I just witnessed a suicide.. I can't believe this happened.."

*an ambulance arrives*

He looks closer

*the kid seems to somehow be alive despite jumping and sustaining several injuries*

"Is he.. alive?"

*the medics look just as confused as they talk with the kid*

He starts descending the building, wondering why the kid was alive

*devin breathes shakily*

He reaches the ground level, looking at Devin's body

*took one hell of a beating from the fall, but still conscious*

"At least they're alive."

*sits up*

He crouches down

"how the hell....."

"How did you survive?"

"you think i know?!"

He covers his ears
"Ow.."

"why am i not dead?!"

"I-I don't know-!"

"dammit....of course...."

"What?"

"my quirks combined...flight and fire. would make me a phoenix"

"Ohh.. So you come back stronger evert time you get hurt."

"no i just regenerate"

"Oh.."

"yeah"

"Does that mean you can grow your wings back?"

"no."

"Oh."

"yeah"

"At least you're alive."

"....."

"What?"

"i don't want to live!"

He flinches

"ugh......"

"I don't get how that didn't discourage you."

"because."

"Because why?'

"i still don't have a reason to stay alive"

"Is there anyone else in your life that is important to you?"

"no-"

"Oh.."

"no one else truly cares"

"I care."

"you don't count"

"Gee, thanks."

". . ."

"..I'm sorry."

"sorry doesn't help."

".."

"this is stupid!"

"What's stupid?"

"everything!"

"Calm down.."

"why?!"

"Just try to calm down.."

*they look away from you*

"..."

"if it makes you leave me alone...i'll try my best to not die."

"Thank you."

"good."

"I guess this is goodbye then."

"maybe."

"Hopefully I'll see you around."

"yeah"

"I sorry for everything you've been through.."

"things can't get worse right?" *chuckles*

"Eheheh.. Yeah.."

*but as weeks pass and you hear nothing from them, you decide things took a turn for the worse*

"Did he do something-?"

*you see their face on the newspaper*

"Oooohhh nooo..."
He looks

'Devin Takami found guilty of arson. sentenced to the hospital for the criminally insane.'

"What?! Arson?!"

*the winds blows around violently*

"Hhhh.."

'studies showed that Devin was in fact insane at the time of the crime and will be serving an extended amount of time at the hospital for the mentally ill and criminally insane'

"Wow.."

*the article dates back to two weeks ago, and you remember how angry devin had gotten when talking about the asylum*

"Oh.. Nooo..."

...

He runs out of his house

...

He runs the the hospital

*the hospital is about three of four floors tall and whiteish grey*

He runs in

*you see a secretary*

"Is there someone named Devin in this hospital??"

"yes."

"May I see them?"

"may i see identification?"

"Identification-?"

"license, passport, anything really."

He pulls out his driver's license

"alright- you'll be in room 127"

"Thank you!"
He goes to room 127

*you see devin in there laughing to themself, in an unhinged sort of way, they are bound by a straightjacket and their hair is a wild mess*

"What happened..?"

"after the trial they were taken here and had a violent episode"

"Huh.."

"did you want to go in to see them?"

"If they won't kill me."

"that jacket is fairly tough- they can't get through if they tried"

"Alright, can I see them?"

*opens the door*

He walks in

*cackles* "heeeeeellooooooooo-"

"Devin, what did you do?"

*stares you down*
"i got revenge."

"On who?"

"on the world."

"Hh.."

"it screwed me over so i did the same."

"You said you wouldn't do anything if I left."

"ah aha ahahahahahahahahahah- i said i wouldn't try to die."

"..."

*struggles in the jacket*

"They said you can't break out."

"damn!"

".."

*struggles more and goes into a violent episode*

"Shit-!"

*hits their head against the wall violently*

"Hey, hey, stop!"

*blood runs down the wall as they pass out*

"Oh.. Wow.."

*they sit there and wake up with no recollection of their episode*

"What.. Was all that..?"

"what?"

"What do you think?'

"what are you talking about?"

"You don't remember?"

"remember what?"

"That whole episode you just had??"

"i have no clue what you're talking about..."

"Weird.."

*the nurse lets you out*

".."

*you knew devin was unstable but you didn't think they were THAT unstable*

"What happened to him.."

"their family is gone and they're barely 18, we can't put them in an orphanage cause they're too old, but they do have living conditions so they can't go to a homeless shelter."

"Damn.."

"this is the only place we can put them"

"That's sad.."

"mhm"

".."

*devin talks to themself*

"I feek really bad.."

"why?"

"He's been through so much.."

"true, but this is where he ended up"

"Mhm.."

*devin keeps talking to themself*
"you could've saved them, you coward-! the fire wasn't that bad-!"

"What's he saying?"

"he's talking about his father's death"

'..."

"shut up shut up! damn you kaitou! damn your fireproof skin!"

"Kaitou-?"

"their twin brother"

"Fireproof skin??"

"born with superhuman powers-"

"Woah.."

"mhm"

".."

"twins both born with wings and fire"

"Mhm.."

"however- their brother went missing about eight years ago"

"Oh?"

"sad but true-" *the nurse looks not much younger than devin, with redish brown hair and blue eyes*

"Mhm.."

"i recognise the presence of grief- of torment."

"Yeah."

"devin has always been one of my favorites."

"Why?"

"because they have personality- they aren't a flat character"

"Hm."

"they truly are a masterpiece of creation"

"I guess.."

"...."

"I really do feel bad."

"me too."

".."

"but a story is nothing without a conflict."

"True."

*devin rocks back and forth*

"I think he shouldn't be here."

"no?"

"No."

"why not-?"

"He's been through a lot of shit.. Can you really blame him for his actions?"

"that's fair."

"Mhm."

"alright."

".."

"are you willing to be their legal guardian?"

"Uhh..?"

"are you will to take care of them?"

"I mean.. Sure?"

"okay then,"

".."

*they let you back into the room*

"Hey Devin."

"hello..."

"They said I'm your guardian now."

"my what-?"

"Basically, you do have someone that cares."

"oh-"

"Yeah."

"so...what does that mean for me?"

"It means that you aren't alone anymore."

"and?"

"You might be able to leave, I-unno."

"really?"

"Maybe?"

"that would be nice"

"Mhm."

*the nurse comes back with some paperwork*

He looks at the nurse

"you just need to sign a few papers"

"Okay."

*hands them to you*

He takes a look at them

*they mostly are legal things regarding devin's health and care*

He signs them

*hands you some medicine bottles*

"Is this his?"

"yep. antidepressants."

"Ah."

"once in the morning once at night."

"Mhm."

*they talk to devin for a bit*

"..."

*devin nods*
"and keep them away from knives and other sharp things."

"Mhm."

*they take devin out of the jacket*

".."

*devin looks at you*

He gives a smile

*weakly smiles back*

"You okay?"

"yeah"

"Hm."

*chuckles* "no- not really... if i was actually okay i would be here to begin with."

"Heh.."

*wouldn't

"but now i can leave..."

"Yep."

"i'm ready to go."

"A'right."

*walks*

"Let's go."

"okay-"

He walks out
