Things were quickly becoming complicated again. [i]Ugh[/i]. So they weren’t dead, but now, actually, they might be dead after all? Roaki didn’t know how utterly wrecked the rinky-dink town had been after the attack, maybe they just couldn’t identify all the dead people. There was a chance still that under all that rubble were the itty-bitty pieces of her parents.

But that wasn’t the frustrating part. It was the fact that Quinnlash seemed unwilling to just fucking let go that got her heated. She had to remind herself this was all likely bullshit anyway, but the part playing along wished she had the will to scream. [i]That[/i] was why the door was ajar? [i]This[/i] was why Quinnlash was the way she was? 

Unbelievable. 

“[color=ec008c]So just fuckin’ kill’em,[/color]” she said flatly. “[color=ec008c]You know you can do that, right? You’re a pilot, you’re allowed to. Even if they’re fancy pantsy scientists, you’re still the bigger fish.[/color]”

Fuck’s sake, she almost looked up at her. Her eyes got as high up as Quinnlash’s neck before darting back down. Frustrated, yeah, but in the back of her mind, like a leash, the word [i]worm[/i] kept her heeled. 

Fine, no yelling. She’d just talk like some stupid fucking civvy. 

“[color=ec008c]And it’s not totally forgetting,[/color]” she said. “[color=ec008c]It’s more like…Look, I had five siblings, and two aunts. I killed them all. And I [i]guess[/i], before I actually did it, I was…kinda like you. I didn’t [i]know[/i]. Most of them were shits, couple of’em weren’t. Maybe I wanted to kill them, maybe I didn’t. But when I was done, I [i]did[/i] know, and it was better.[/color]

“[color=ec008c]I didn’t just suddenly forget them. They’re…I…remember. But they’re the past. So, if your stupid ass parents are still alive, and you see them again, just kill’em. Make them the past. That’s when it gets easier.[/color]”
