<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Because you’ve had too much for too long. If I went and asked you when it all first started, I would bet the numbness hadn’t set in yet. None of that went away. You just got used to it, and you never deserved to have to.

@Stratocracy

*Scoffs*
Sure I did. That's the whole point.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

What I’m saying is, that you’ve been soaked in the pain for so long that you’re convinced it’s no longer there. But the fact that it’s there is the whole reason you feel numb to begin with. But that is okay, because it can still go away.

@Stratocracy

I wish there was pain. Pain would be great. Guilt, sad, all of those. I don't care.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Numbness isn’t absence of pain, you know. It just means you don’t feel it. But it’s still there.

@Stratocracy

Word goop. Just go away if you won't make sense.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

A curse because it hurts.

@Stratocracy

I wish it hurt. It's numb.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

If that were true, we wouldn’t be here.
*Leans forward*
You hurt so bad that your violence is a way of forcing people to end your pain the only way you believe is possible. But that’s just not it.

@Stratocracy

If I could die, they would have done it. This is my curse.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I know you don’t care about the violence. But no one’s pain matters to you. Not even a little bit. At least, no one else’s.

@Stratocracy

I don't feel pain. There's no such thing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I didn’t say it. I’m simply conveying what I’ve been told. You’re not the only you here, but you sure act like this is the truth you want*
*Takes a sip from it instead*

@Stratocracy

*The hot chocolate is rich and bold, but a little bit salty*
It is the truth. I'll make sure your sis dies down there, and your friend up there.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You don’t want that.

@Stratocracy

Who are you to say that? Give me my drink back. You won't earn that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Maybe not entirely. And I wish I hadn’t been in a position to catch you with your pants down like this, but it’s hard for you to lie to me after what I’ve seen in here. Now, I don’t even believe you when you lie to yourself.

@Stratocracy

You don't know me at all. You don't know what you saw. Just leave me.

Myriad Reality

*The ground shakes and the sky turns a beautiful twilight under twinkling starlight and an unnaturally large moon*
Daydream: Maiden of Noctis!
*Bursts from the ground, arms extended and sparkling with light*

@Legend Begins

*Millions of needles shoot up from the ground and pierce you in every direction*
You won't kill me, will you? Waste of my time.
