[just one more little pause while he... puts it all in order. a deep breath.]
Well, I... Lived at the tower for a good few months after you disappeared, until I was sent to another place. It was another Underground, like I told you, but it wasn't a place that brought in a whole bunch of other people from all over--it was just me, displaced. There, I... Befriended a populace of trapped dragon rebels, got eaten, got shot in the head, got my organs ripped out, got sucked into a world of bad politics, took up prostitution in exchange for goods, services, and social status, and got in way too deep with the paranoid schemes of of their terrifying madman of a king.
At some point I met a boy named Nel. He was a... slave, basically. I liked him, but didn't know him very long before I almost got him killed. I saved him, but... His recovery was so bad that I ended up killing him anyway, since they would have just dumped him out on the street and left him to die anyway. Gave him a peaceful death, I guess.
[he sighs. it's a little short. if he keeps this quick and detached, maybe he can get through it all without feeling utterly disgusted with himself.]
