#like anya is out here Trying™ and it'll be for naught

a closed starter for albus ( @recklcssabandon )

anya couldn't put her finger on what emotion filled her when she laid eyes on a perfectly alive albus. her stomach is in knots, her chest tight, and slight dislike of herself. is this what guilt is? the former demon had never felt any for the thousands of men she punished, so what was this about? just because they were hiding together for a tiny moment doesn't mean it's her fault he got killed. it's not like she could've held him back from leaving. but you didn't try either. god, that annoying voice. it was its fault she felt this way.

from what she has learned, the best way to ease this feeling is to apologize. even if she doesn't think it's her fault, this stupid human body of her apparently feels like it is. "hey, albus. sorry you died," she said, coming to a stop in front of him. "and i'm glad you're alive... even if it's strange that all of you are somehow."
