<Snipped quote by Server>

Oh good, syllables. That's an improvement, good. Like I said, relax as much as you can. Your friends are safe, you're safe, you won. From what I hear, you were a hero, too.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*An utterly concerned look stretches across my face at the word and I start tugging, trying to make my arms move correctly*

Should we sedate?

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Not yet, not unless she's in danger of hurting herself. Learning to move again is tough, after all.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I'm going to lose sleep over it unless I can find answers. I want it to be as easy as sitting back and say everything's going to be okay. It's not.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Softly*
I would like to know eventually, too, I guess…

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Winces at Artemis' scream*
I'm on pins and needles trying not to throw up.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

She’ll be okay. I imagine there’s a bridge somewhere between the mess she was in, and getting her to the point she’s… Together like that at all. I was half expecting them to come back and say she’d need weeks to regain consciousness.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Winces*
What if it shatters her mind? Going from alive to dead to alive like that?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I went through it too… Not the same way, of course but…
*Puts a hand on your shoulder opposite me*
It’s a lot, but if I could do it and come out okay, she’ll be golden.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Stares at my feet*
Violet, I want to be vulnerable for a second.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Rubs your shoulder*
Let it out.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

If Artemis doesn't make it out of this okay, I am going to hate myself.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

You do not deserve to put any of this on yourself, Isis. You did everything you could. Everyone else did what they did knowing what would come, and no one who cares for you would want that for you.
*Turns you toward me and puts my hands on your shoulders*
Not a one. Not even a little bit.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*My eyes flicker to your face and then back down again*
I was the one who brought us to that universe. I was the one who activated the goodbye whatever. I was the one who gave Artemis the chance to sacrifice herself. I was the one who let those people die. Who else's fault is it!?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Artemis made the choice herself. She atoned for… Whatever it was in her past that weighed on her. Everything else? That’s us using what we were given to do what we could. You could not choose the cards you were dealt, especially when it was designed for you to have no idea what you were getting into. Everything that happened is only one person’s fault. And wherever he ended up, I hope he’s already started his eternity paying for it. It’s his burden to bear, not yours!
*Hugs you tightly*
You did so well today.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

You are... so unbelievably nice.
*Joins my hands on the other side of your torso*
I feel like I'm going to scream, Violet. How many more lives could I have saved? Why didn't I immediately get rid of the fake Artemis? What kind of monster can't even manage to cry over her own dad?

<Snipped quote by Legend>
*chimes in sofly*
Well, you've got a monster like that right here with you.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

You think I'm a monster too?
