[He should leave. He should just walk out and never look back on this again. It hurts to even think about it, but he has to endure it. They're his friends, possibly more than that. They at least deserve some kind of resolution. Sighing, Venom sits back down, staring at the cup of bourbon.

Time to let it out, Venom.]

I didn't mean to come between you two. I'm still new to this whole "dating" thing and having any form of a personal life. Granted, I've been attracted to others, but none quite like you, Phoenix. Even outside of Wyver's atmosphere and the temptations of the Red Light District, I still feel something more for you.

And Miles, despite your question, I do look up to you. And there was a time when I wouldn't have minded pursuing you as a possible partner. But had I known of your connection, I wouldn't have done any of this.

I'm sorry.

[Venom doesn't hesitate to take the shot in the teacup.]
