[h2][color=00aeef][b]Marrie Knight[/b][/color][/h2] Darkness. There was enough of it to spawn a Kingdom Hearts villain and Marrie sure as shit felt like a heartless nobody to go along with it. First, she had killed not one, but two... humans? People. Two people. Two thinking, presumably sentient beings. Yes, one had tried to kill her, and the other would have had no problems doing the same. But nonetheless, they were people. Was it right for her to end them like that? Was self-defense really even an excuse, when she had gone there with the intent of possible violence to earn money? Her head was ringing when the light broke through. She shook her head as much as she could. [color=00aeef][i]Rationalize later.[/i][/color] She looked to her side and saw the corpse automaton that she had threatened, feeling bile rise in her throat before retching again next to it. She didn't know who this person was, and with half her head missing it would be hard to find out, but she was terrified by the image it burned into her mind. [color=00aeef][i]Rationalize [b]later[/b].[/i][/color] She stood up. She began limping toward the manhole, the holy grail they had been fighting for. It was totally fine, surprisingly. She went to open it, trying with one hand to keep Apex Predator in her other as she lifted. She'd only use both hands if absolutely necessary.
