The Last Supper - sensitIV

[ All things considered, the room looks fairly comfy. Dark mahogany walls are decorated with wine red velvet curtains, and chaise lounges and deep-cushioned chairs in matching upholstery arrange themselves in front of a large plasma TV screen that can receive input from any idol's smartphone, though it cannot be changed from the current screen.

A hallway attaches to the room, branching off into two hallways. In the inner hallway, there's a kitchenette—it holds no food in either the fridge or the cupboards, but perhaps as an insult the fridge door's inside shelf holds a gold-framed painting of split pomegranates with seeds artistically spilling onto the ground. At least it's not entirely useless as a room—there are any number of melee weapons in the cupboards and shelves, each weapon's handle furnished with decorative snakes in the unit's color.

Past the kitchen is a modest bathroom that nevertheless uses the majority of its space for its bath and shower, including various skin and hair care products (though no electric plugs, despite the presence of hair dryers), sparkly bath bombs, and a seemingly endless number of wine red towels and bathrobes. Across the bathroom is what seems to be a luxurious sleeping room, somehow large enough to hold as many beds as needed for the unit; the sheets are similarly wine red with what feels like a million thread count, and the mattresses and pillows might be made of the softest material in existence.

The outer hallway leads to the mud room, which leads toward the outside. ]

Still—you did what you could.

[ reaching out to pat his head ]

Do you want to try again?

[Lowers his head a bit, like a cat avoiding being petted.]

I'm hungry.

[Simply.
It's not a matter of wanting to or not. It never was, was it?]

[ letting his hand hover the air then, instead of petting him. with a little pained smile, gentle and sympathetic ]

It's unpleasant, isn't it?

It always is. I hate it. I hate that it's all of us? I hate them. Let's pick something to eat.

[No indication of who "them" is. Does Nyx know? Good question.]

Mm, then let's do that.

Do you have any reservations for anyone?

...

No?

[Why would he have reservations, Nyx asks himself. That doesn't make any sense at all.]

Does that mean you do? It's fine if you do, I guess there's still several options.

[ pleasantly, voice softening as it pitches lower: ]

It's already abhorrent that we are pitted against each other at all. Every life, equal in worth, shares the same burden and consequence when it is extinguished.

I hope so.

I have lived long enough to know so. It is the single lesson that remains true, whether a year from now or three hundred years from now—every life is impossibly precious.

Is that so. I've never thought so. I only knew one person who'd think such things. I wanted to though. [But his life never felt like it had any value. It still doesn't, even if this person's words (that person's words) almost trick him into believing it.] ...If they're all equally precious then they're all equally worthless, I guess. So it doesn't matter here.
