【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第十️二章:呼吸 Breath(14)
The thought of Alessandra being subjected to such a nightmare actually turned my stomach in a way I thought I’d long since forgotten how to feel.
Another small cry, and I grimaced. I could close the doors and leave, go to the other side of the quarters where I couldn’t hear her, but I knew instantly that it wouldn’t help. In fact, I was certain that the distance would make the churning in my stomach worse.
Instead, I grabbed the chair by the vanity, pulled it around to the side of the bed she was sleeping on, and sat down.
“I am only doing this because you’re not awake to see or hear it,” I muttered quietly as I reached out and slid my hand into one of hers, which she immediately gripped it with alarming strength, and I ran my thumb over her knuckles a few times. “We will never speak of this, Cre’yth… ever.”
I wasn’t sure why I was talking. She couldn’t hear me from within the throes of her nightmare, but… perhaps she would hear something else.
Clearing my throat, I scowled. “Mad Succubus… surely such a descriptor has never been more accurate.”
