And I know you're upset about King. He's someone that's been here from the start for me. Not to mention we're on the same unit, so we've had more of a chance to form a bond. I know you probably don't consider coming in behind him much of a feat, but considering the things we've been though and how we came to be... I think our bond and relationship is special in its own right. Whether you think I'm full of shit or not, Kohime, I do love you, and I do really care for you, and there's nowhere I'd rather be than right here. I cherish the time we spend together, and I'm hoping that when push comes to shove in the endgame... I can make the decision to make you completely happy.
. . .Come on. We're not kids. Hope is for children โโย and dumb hearts and sparkles princesses, probably. There's what you can do, yourself, and nothing I do is going to change things, is it?
[She waves her bloody injured arm, indicating her nasty little stab wound.]
...it has nothing to do with that sorta stuff. It's more like... I'm committed to making bad decisions, I guess, and there's nothing that's going to stop me from taking her out. I have to. I can't not, especially now, because I have too. many. reasons. [ she balls a fist. ] She's hurt too many people I care about and [ digs her nails into her palm until she's drawing blood. ] that's not okay. But maybe, like, deep down I know that I'm not strong enough and I don't know how to get strong enough, so... if suddenly I'm given the opportunity...
I'm not good enough, basically. I have to be strong enough to... to do everything I want to do, because otherwise I'm just going to let everybody down, myself included.
It's what happened back home, and... and that... it still tears me up inside. If I had been stronger, then maybe I wouldn't have, like, ...I...
[ but she's getting off topic. ]
[ she moves toward kohime to catch her hand. ] I'm going to do everything in my power to be strong enough and good enough, so when the time comes I don't disappoint you. I know what we have isn't ideal, but you have to know [ she drops a kiss on her hand. ] that I do care for you and I would lay my life on the line for yours.
If you don't get revived by a pep!, then she sends some shit minion of hers to drag you to her, so she can mindfuck you, and then while you're still reeling she corrupts you with some of her patent hell glue.
And that "deal" didn't have to happen in the first place. You're not getting a damn thing out of it, are you, ...just fu- [ she just shuts her mouth and doesn't finish that thought. kohime's already feeling poorly. ]
Let's go get you patched up. SensitIV or Intensity?
[She doesn't immediately answer. But there is a light blood trail leading further into the gardens before tapering off enough it's probably a challenge to follow if you're not a tracker or something. But it looks like she didn't leave, at least, just went further into the area.]
[ she's not a tracker, but she's not going to let that stop her from finding kohime. she follows the trail and then starts searching around. she'll look for things that could give clues... like smushed flowers, broken twigs, or slightly sunken in grass. stuff like that. ]
[She doesn't leave a huge trail, but she's also wearing a burgundy suit in otherwise green foliage so she's not exactly blending in well. She can be found crouched by the side of a pond, watching the water, and whatever Hell goldfish are swimming around in it.]
[She starts, like she hadn't noticed D.Va approaching, and frowns a little (maybe at her own reaction) before she stares back out at the water. Now that she's not as worked up, she looks a little tense and worn, like maybe sticking a knife in your arm and then bleeding all over the place is not the greatest plan because it hurts and also you lose important red stuff.]
[ most people shouldn't like getting hurt. glad kohime learned that lesson. DON'T DO IT AGAIN. ]
No. I said this is where I wanted to be, Kohime, and I meant that, and I said I was going to get some stuff to fix your arm, so that's what I did. If you're not careful and it's left unchecked there's a good chance you could lose it. [ ok, maybe it wouldn't be THAT bad, but hopefully that'll get her to listen. ]
I still want to spend the night together. I still want to fall asleep with you cuddling closely to me.

I hate this.
I want to hurt you like you hurt me.
But I'm so tired of being alone.
And second place is the best I'll ever get.
Instead, she just sounds tired as she says:]
Maybe she's not that bad. I mean, she picked me over Shadow Weaver. So, you know, there is that.

Yeah, I know what she's like. I met her, remember?
And none of the above.
