Do you guys ever think about Kevin Day. About the number on his cheek. About the horrors he survived to keep it there. The physical and psychological torture that he endured just so he could have the shiny number 2 tattooed on his cheekbone. How brave he was to go through all that.

How brave he must have been to let it go.

To say: I’m giving up my number, the one I’ve dehumanized and killed myself over. I’m giving it up, but my suffering for it wasn’t in vain.

To realize that he didn’t deserve the number 2, not because he was no longer second best without the Ravens, but because he had always been better than all of them.

He was the deadliest piece on the board.

#I had a dream about Kevin day last night #in which he was talking to Wymack and essentially said:#‘I let myself be beaten for this number.#I let my friend be tortured for this number.#once I stuck my hand on a hot stove for riko. so that I could keep my number.#all I had to do to get rid of it was stand up for myself.#and that was the hardest thing I’ve done.’#yes actually my dreams are ridiculous and poetic #I can write better unconsciously than I can consciously #but anyways #Kevin day #aftg #all for the game #riko moriyama #tsc #the sunshine court #the raven king #the foxhole court #tfc
