The rose wilts in his hand.

“When I think of it...We’re all going to die.”

He throws the rose off to the side. “Should have known that there wasn’t a point behind that flower.

“The more I stress, the more hopeless I feel. It feels as if there’s no point, there’s no use, there’s no hope. We won’t win this war, can’t you get it into your dense head?

“Stalagmite’s gone. Rover’s gone. EVERYBODY’S GONE! So what if we kill millions? So what if we kill the Emperor? This is our home, but everything’s taking it from us! It’s all useless! It used to be my home, it used to be your home, but now it’s all garbage! I’m garbage! You’re garbage!”

“Okay, can you please stop, Adder, I just want to make you feel better!”

“Heh...Good luck with that. I couldn’t care less about how I feel, or how you feel, or how ANYBODY feels anymore! This planet’s nothing but crummy waste now! And everybody and everything I even cared for is gone! So what’s the point of even trying anymore!? WE’RE ALL JUST USELESS PIECES OF TRASH!”

He jumps off of the rock, injuring himself, not that he could care any less. He rips the rose to shreds with his bare hands and starts sobbing.

“I’m...I’m weak...I’m useless...I’m...”

The rock suddenly heaves and lurches. It rises up to its full 16-foot height, and bellows. The gravel and sand covering the rock slides off in a thin veil, revealing the green and blue face underneath.

Mapusaurus roseae.

It grabs Drift by one hand and roars at Adder. Taking a huge chomp out of Drift’s flank, it throws the Kelenken at a rock. Baring its jaws, its colossal guiollotines lined with dozens of pearly white daggers, it prepares to rip open Adder’s flesh.

Adder, on the other hand, prepares to die.
