New Equilibrium Chapter Just Dropped

Snippet:

"Why did you come now ? When there's no one left to save?!" Danny demanded, head bowed, white hair falling like a curtain over his red eyes.

"There is still someone left to save, Daniel. You." Clockwork shifted to his elderly form, his voice so gentle. It scraped like sandpaper over the raw wounds leaking in his chest. He didn't deserve kindness, gentleness. Not after what he'd done. What he'd failed to do.

"Me?" Danny asked, head tilting back as a rasping, bitter laugh left his lips, "I'm nothing . I lost my haunt, lost my fraid . I am nothing ." Danny bit out, lips thick with ectoplasm from his throat.

"You do not understand your own greatness, Daniel. You are everything . And if I had allowed you to follow the path the rage inside you demands, you'd drag this world to destruction." Clockwork informed him, shifting Danny in his hold, drawing him closer. Offering him a comfort Danny didn't feel he'd earned.

"Maybe this world deserves it."
