[You don't want to kill.]

[But you see an alien woman.]

[You know her every crime. Everything she has done to you. How much she has taken. How much excessive cruelty she's performed simply because she COULD. To you, to everyone around you, to so many alien races. How unrepentant she is, how she targets you, and your friends.]

[How she demands you to save her race for her to enslave as she took away yours.]

[How she killed the last of your family twice.]

[And suddenly it's so very easy to imagine yourself draining every tyrian drop from her body just to make sure SHE STAYED DOWN.]

[So, that was her version of your sister.]

[ I was about to say.

Ah.

I resonate so fucking much with this one.

He jerks away from the fuchsia, much more harshly than the other ones. His breathing is uneven, like he's trying to bottle up a sudden rush of sheer rage, as well as delight from that thought of seeing somebody like that die and stay dead. Someone like her. ]

[GOTTA LOVE THE MURDER FEELS.]

[Doom will just wait.]

[ They are rare for Rook to have outside of being brainwashed into it. ]

This kind of world ... is the only one you've known, because of her. Nothing can change that, and only so much can ease it. It's just something that's part of you, that can't just disappear or be ignored.

Correct.

[She gestures for him to approach the throne as she sits up properly.]

[ Stepping up to her. ]

There are parts of me ... memories that I don't like either, ones like that, ones that hurt, that I wish I could erase. That I wish never happened at all. Home ... here.

But they work the same way as the good parts that I want to hold onto. They're what made me ... me. And without even one of them ... well, it's rather inconceivable, to imagine what you would be like with or without something, good or bad. You only know what you are as you are, with those experiences. Even if they're horrible.

[ When he gets to the throne, he reaches for her hand first. ]

I know you're about understanding, accepting, and not about changing this place . But ... all the same. That doesn't mean you can't be eased when things in here get ... to be too much. So I hope we can do that for you, in those times. Even if it's through the other parts of you.

[She smiles, sad, forlorn, but genuine.]

[She stands up.]

I'm just facts, in the end. But it's important, for this part to be seen. I, all of me, need understanding.

But helping how I feel about it, that comes next. Lean over a bit?

Yeah...

Thanks, Roxy.

[ And then he leans over. ]

No, thank you.

[She leans forward to kiss his forehead with cold lips.]

[You hate it.]

[It's not as if you don't understand. You know to Jane, it makes no sense, the things you tell her. She's centuries in the past, of course she wouldn't believe you when you tell her how you grew up.]

[About what you've lost.]

[Because to her, it hasn't happened.]

[But it hurts. It still hurts as she denies such basic facts of your life.]

[How she treats it like it doesn't exist.]

[And it feels like you don't exist]
