the usual excuses that was used in reference to why he avoided hell was that he was busy.  however, anyone that truly familiar with him knew the truth;  he wasn’t ready to face it.  not again. not after the stunts he had pulled and most certainly when he knew that things wouldn’t get better the moment he was forced back. 

still, it wasn’t like he could avoid it now, and even he knew that he had to face his mistakes – including failures sooner or later. he just wished he had more time to prepare something more than one words that he knew wouldn’t be taken well. a reason to why he decided the best way forward was to just go with it and hope… he came out of everything alive ( if his existence could even be called such a thing ).

               _{“to be quite fair,” he said, arms crossing over his chest. “i don’t see it as really that bad. ‘sides i’ve been keeping my head down.” mostly.}
