"H-hey there, Stringbean." He's caught by Rhys before his head hits the floor, caught up in the other's arms and gives a startled jolt once he's there because Rhys feels warm-blooded to him now.
"Holy shit. Holy shit you smell beautiful."
He starts to cry, getting a little bit hysterical.
"Oh my god you're beautiful. You've always been so kind to me, and I didn't see it before. Oh my god. I don't wanna argue with you because - "
Betelgeuse pauses to gasp for air. Is that a thing he has to remember to do now???
Exhale;
"-because I was so, so shitty to you, and to Bill, and to Hange, and I didn't see it before. I killed people. And I remember how it feels to be killed and oh god. Oh god I'm a monster."
He's bawling.
"And I'm even worse right now because, I mean, here you are, helping me through this very trying, emotional time and it's like, I haven't even EVER asked how you are because I'm a shitty-"
Inhale.
" -selfish person, you know? Oh god. I need to get away from here, I'm no good, Rhys, I suck. And I wanna make it better, I have to make myself better so I can be deserving of - ow. Ow, okay, no one fucking told me love could hurt."
He feels for his chest, pale and scared. Somewhere on the ship, Hange's communicator flickers to indicate her inmate's imminent graduation.
"I have to go. I have to get away from here, you're too bright for me right now, I'm a stupid smelly selfish demon goblin thing and I've been that way for so long and....I h-have to go."
