***
Richard always thought, always wanted to believe that little girls were immortal. There were times he thought he would lose whatever fight he was fighting, but that was just him, and that another way to save Siri after he failed would appear.
Months and months of fighting monsters and boxers and life in general can’t be all for nothing; can it? Siri, sweet little girl, was innocent, yet oh so brave; there had to be a way to save her.
Did he really need to learn this lesson, that sometimes there is no way, or there is but people are assholes and don’t want to help, that oh so often people are assholes and that nobody cares about lost little girls?
Maybe. He knew in a general way that the world was fucked up. But until then, he just didn’t want to listen, to ackwoledge it so personally and so painfully.
