User blog comment:Promestein/Starcross - Happy Birthday EQUINOX/@comment-28644276-20190306035035

Even I have no excuse to make for SOL here. That was outright awful of her. This is why I always say I understand how and why she got to this point, but doesn't mean it justifies these actions at all.

I'm guessing at the time of this story, EQ had already gone through a lot of stuff, huh. I find it somewhat funny that I mentioned on the Discord "will there be SOL suffering in the other stories" jokinggly, when instead there was SOL inflicting on others.

It's also good that I read this one not long after the Birthday one for Solstice. It's like showing what reasons and scars each of them kept in this "special" day. The main difference is that EQ surpassed and healed hers whereas SOL seems to this day to still be feeling them as if they were just made.

Both on their body and feelings, they each went through a lot... But here, there's no space for that reasoning. It was simply SOL making EQ's day miserable, and for her own selfish reasons. 0 points for you in this story, SOL. You allowed the hollow parts in you to make yourself even more hollow and also make similar scars on the very same person that had given the love and everything you wanted for so long.

So from my own words, for once I would say: Was it worth it? To pay everything you had for the sake of keeping your ego/selfishness? No wonder you call yourself a star. This is like burning yourself in your own light, ridding yourself of what would come close to you and, at the end of it all, self-destructing or dying in a whimper. For your case in EQ's hands, I'd say it was a whimper. A suitable end for someone who was so concerned at one point in running away from the past, that she broke her own future, really.
