I guess.

[Nods.] It's...diff, being told it's a thing.

Then seein' it with your own eyes.

Almost knocked off Vetoed's head off 'cause of that argument.

[Sitting down across from him.]

[it... is. he feels his chest, where he stabbed himself, and then blinks at the new attire, taking it in silently]

There was another voice...

I can't even imagine how that feels. Being told that.

[ looks straight at her ]

When I felt that, from the blood... All I wanted to do was erase it. Try to destroy it, like I had in other rooms. But then that'd be trying to destroy you, wouldn't it?

[ He's going to sit down next to her. ]

...

[She closes the book, turns towards him.]

[She holds out her other hand for his second one.]

[...

Takes it, holding tight.]

Infuriating and...isolating.

[She nods.]

It would be. I wouldn't allow it.

[She just keeps staring at Sparrow.]

You'd think I'd be used to it.

Never am.

Hmmm, yep! That'd be a mem.

Oh...

I ... feel different.

[TIMEY WIMEY IMPORTANT GAME QUESTIONS THAT I TOTALLY FORGOT.]

Oh, though, I do got one more thing for ya! A riddleish thing!

If I had tried and you stopped me, I wouldn't have blamed you. No matter what you'd done.

[ undertone of an apology in there, for that thought he had ]

A riddle? What is it?

Depends what it took to stop you.

You dun need to apologize, I imagine it's a thought most had.

Do ya think you understand what this room is?

So, here's the thing. When we do stuff, more often than not, we got two motives going on. All that layer shit. Same with the Nix thing.

Going Godtier had the motive of making sure ya have a harder time staying dead this game.

But what did agreeing mean to 'This World?'

Yep, you would.

This would be your true Godtier.

That means you still care.

So I have different powers now?

[I kind of liked the void thing though]

Is that your true tier as well? [GESTURING TO YOUR OUTFIT]

I'm... not sure. What it feels like is that everything to this point were the parts that we were trying to fix and help. Here, we're supposed to accept it. Understand there are parts that can't be fixed. That aren't supposed to be fixed.

[ brow furrows, having a hard time with this. all of it, as a whole ]

Near the beginning, I tried doing everythin' on my own. Didn't know how to depend on peeps because it's....been so short a time where I had anyone to depend on 'fore Kyriakos. Just me and silly chess people.

It terrified me, the idea I couldn't handle things on my own. Felt like if I didn't, I would surely die.

Reyson called me out on the bullshit, told me I had others to depend on. To help me.

It scared me.

It still does.

Even now, I can't....I can't accept help without helpin' in turn. 'cause it doesn't feel real. Like if I dun do something, it's all gonna fall apart somehow 'cause how do things continue unless I struggle somehow?

[And a feeling. A feeling like she can't just have kindness, the world isn't kind. But if she helps, then it's more even. She fulfills her purpose in life, so yes, yes, the universe can give her this kindness, and it makes SENSE and it's not a sign of things going badly in the near future.]

Does it?

Yep. Hearty powers.

Nope! I would be the balancing for the Rogue of Void that we really are.

But 'fore we get too into that.

I got a riddle for ya.

[She nods.] That's correct. This room isn't 'bout fixing. It ain't 'bout change.

... trust, right? That conversation I heard just as I woke up. That upon being asked to die, we'd wonder "will we wake up?" And, whether or not we did wonder that, we opted to trust in you like you trusted in UU that it would be okay. And since this is your heart, we know you want us to believe in you, to take that step and know that you'd look after us.

And in turn ... us being willing to take that step gives you trust in us to allow us to see the "real burdens," the other parts of you that aren't as seen ... like Nix said. A mutual trust between both of us.
