*Stares, wide-eyed*
Are you kidding?? I trusted you!!

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

*Pulls forward against the bindings*
I will embed this moment so deep into my soul that not even Melody will ever forgive you!!

@Meta

All deals were completed. With your intentions, after binding promises were wrapped up, it was only natural for us to be enemies. I’m not sorry for striking first, instead of waiting till I was in your shoes.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*the blue strings come out of the book and slowly wrap up you, freezing the parts it touches*
You are merely an asset that has escaped.

@Zeal

… Make sure he treats her well.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

You lunatic! There is no Melody without me!

@Meta

*Frowns*
There will be.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*My jaw drops in incredulity*
I hit a pause button, and you’re stabbing me in the back?!?

@Meta

Not even the important part! I can’t have someone out there wandering around who has the intention of hurting their mom!

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Hmm. Smart choice.
*steps on the button*

@Zeal

*The device warps you into the lab between me and Harmony*
I made up my mind about you from the start. The only thing that changed is how it’s going to be done.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

And that is?

@Zeal

*The device’s light suddenly lights up a solid green*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

And both of us kept our sides of the deal. No bad blood.

@Meta

Not that promise. The one before. “If you cross us. If you run away. If you hurt them...” Ring a bell?
*The lights dim here in my lab as it enters a lockdown state, red lights flashing in a silent alarm*
How about what you said afterward? Or what you proceeded to do to them despite my pleas for you not to. Practically begging.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Ah—
*Looks up*
Honestly, no.

@Meta

*Swallows*
I made a promise. A promise about what would happen following me sparing you, depending on a course of action you took.
*Taps the bottom of each key with my hands and they disappear*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Well—
*Turns and raises a hand*
Ciao.

@Meta

… Do you remember what I told you? Before I gave you the Purge fragments, in the web.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Tosses the keys to you*
These can be used to remove the backdoor, or you can use it yourself for whatever reason you want.

@Meta

*Silently turns the keys over in my hands as the Darwin Box from earlier floats from around my back and circles them*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Since you managed to talk that mysterious person into letting us go, I’ll even sweeten the deal for you.

@Meta

That so?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

So am I. As promised.
*A green and red key materializes in each hand*

@Meta

*Bends over and puts my hands on my knees from the sheer relief I exude*
