That... whatever it was that was in her painting - it had somehow gotten out of her painting, a fact that she somehow just noticed - was speaking to her. Despite the very wrong atmosphere that had permeated her room and was now causing the gerbil to run around the cage in complete panic, Nanase found herself completely entranced and bewitched by the creature, this great being to which she was a mere ant. "...I..." she hesitated for a moment, fear gripping her every body before she looked at her gerbil, at its cage, and she made up her mind. "I wish for a different path in life." She declared, knowing full well that there were at least a million different ways that this could backfire. Nyarlathotep might turn her into an ant, might completely destroy her, might change her identity completely - and entirely for the worse - but she was not afraid. She was tired of this life, tired of the cage she was placed in. "It is undeniable that humans such as I are beholden by fate, that by the mere whims of forces high beyond our understanding - whether that force be gods or fate - our path are set without any chance of our own struggle. Which is why I ask you, if you truly are the crawling chaos, that through your whimsical desires, that you change the path set out for me and destroy the cage which fate has placed around me by birthing me to the two parents I have."
