[ she pokes his head. ] ...please don't run. Just tell me to stop. If I talk about some of this stuff it's going to leave me feeling vulnerable and I'd like you to just... be there...
I didn't know until a friend gutted me with a chainsaw and I spilled out half of my everything on the floor between us. I asked, no, begged him to end my suffering and, though hesitant, he eventually obliged. He beheaded me, but I... I could still feel everything. I thought it must have been a fluke, so the next round I carried on like usual... but then I wound up trapped in a room with a monster, a literal monster, and it tore my arm off, ripped me in half, killed my friends, and then slowly but surely ate me. [ she shuts her eyes and tries to catch his wrist. ] And then us... I couldn't stop them... [ she was dismembered and snacked on while he got choked out and ultimately killed. ] It's one thing to be able to walk off a fatal injury, but this is... being rendered useless and just... [ having to sit idly by while the people you love are killed... ] I hate it and I'm scared.
...everybody else on Heart Soldier is capable of dying under these circumstances.
It wouldn’t have been so bad if I wasn’t helpless, but I never want to have to sit there and watch anybody hurt you like that ever again. [ the worst torture, honestly. ]
...since our collective trip to the other hells I have been Hadassah’s Oracle. I can see things, sometimes, and it seems like they’re cryptic hints of things to come. [ maybe, it’s still all kind of confusing! ] I asked for more and... I guess I unknowingly got more and the some.
[ that’s the sweetest thing she’s ever heard. ]
I need to break our bond first, because, right now, pain inflicted on her is... I can feel it too. I’m pretty sure that’s what drove my monster self to attack you, because hurting her was hurting me and that was confusing and scary.
...no. I planned to try to reach out to her though, because *everything*, so maybe I can try to convince her this isn’t in any way, shape, or form beneficial to her.
[ she reaches for his hand. ] I will. [ sighs. ] ...you know, if this didn’t, like, completely blow up in my face and the ability worked as intended in games like that I’d be the perfect protector.

Then... why just you? Why were you the only one going through this? If it wasn't because of Heroes Never Die, then...

Re: done
I- I know. I’m pretty upset with past me too...
Re: done
I'm going to kill her.
