Hey, I tried. I mean why shouldn't I? I thought I could do it. I really did. I thought what I was doing was for the right and I had proof. It was all there. Find the end of the map and kill that bastard. It all made sense. And I did it. We won in the end. We got our worlds back. But why is everyone ignoring me? I saved them all, didn't I? The nightmare is over. Our lives are finally back to normal. Well, normal-ish. Of course, some things changed. With the Condesce finally gone from our past, our way of living is different but let's not get into the details of that. That's not what's bothering me.

"You shouldn't have done that, Vriska," said Kanaya when we got back. "All those people. Us! Now they're all dead."

I tried to explain, "I did it for us, Kanaya. I did it so that we could live. We're the alphas, don't you get it?"

She just pointed to all the dead bodies and left.

I mean, sure, I feel guilty about it too. But they were going to die anyways so isn't it better if they died helping us? I tried explaining this to everyone, but they still just shook their heads.

If it wasn't for me, we'd still all be in that fucking game. Why can't everyone just accept that and thank me? I saved them. I saved everyone's lives.

Didn't I?

I wish they would understand. Life is difficult as it is already. While they go and live like normal, I'm here feeling guilty for saving them. But you know, that's what you get for being a hero. I did what felt right and I did it my way and I don't care what other people think of me because I saved them. And they'll realize one day just how grateful they are.
