[For a moment, Envy still doesn't realize what's happened. Why would Lust respond with--shit.]
[His stomach jolts unpleasantly. Al had just heard that, heard him being so utterly weak that he almost hadn't wanted to even send it to Lust. He didn't want Al to know about this at all, not even secondhand.]
[Somehow, the fact that he's not gloating or saying that Envy deserved the pain or anything else like that just makes it worse.]
[He almost doesn't respond. Normally, he wouldn't and would just hope that Al might think it was a dream and forget about it. It's only because he's so tired and not thinking quite straight that he does send something back, typing it quickly and hitting send before he has time to think about it.]
why do you keep doing this?
[Why doesn't Al act like Envy thinks he SHOULD? Why do things have to be complicated? It was easier when there was just the hate.]
