sometimes i think about reks saying “captain…why?” as gabranth stabs him right in the gut and he falls to the floor, the life leaving him right after he witnessed the death of the king. something i think about how he was forcibly kept alive just enough to testify and i think about vaan getting flowers and visiting him in the hospital and then i think about how reks died marked as a traitor and kingslayer even though he was loyal to the last. something i think about reks and what he could have been if things had been different. i love my good son reks. i miss my good son reks. and if there was ever a character who deserved better? it’s reks.
