Would you call me a monster?

@souleaterfan320

I don't know what to think about anything anymore. This isn't the life I was promised.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It’s natural for the impact to be delayed, you know. When I learned my brother was gone, I didn’t fully internalize it until I was in bed a full night later.
*Pats you on the back a few times*
The rest of it, we all just did what we could with what we had. Hindsight is 20/20 but you did so well going into this knowing basically nothing.

@Audacious

*Purses my lips*
Every wrong move. Another person dead.
*Squeezes my eyes shut*
I wish I had known the weight I was carrying.

*chimes in sofly*
Well, you've got a monster like that right here with you.

@souleaterfan320

You think I'm a monster too?

Myriad Reality

<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.

@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?

Myriad Reality

<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.

@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!?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Rubs your shoulder*
Let it out.

@Audacious

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

Myriad Reality

<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.

@Audacious

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

Myriad Reality

<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.

@Audacious

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

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

@Audacious

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I’m just saying to not be worried about that for now. We won. We shouldn’t beat ourselves up about it so fast.

@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.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

There are many reasons I stay as far from it as I can.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I’m sure someone has a way. We just… It’s better to be happy about the fact his filthy hands can’t harm another hundred worlds, or more. For now.

@Audacious

For now? Do you know something I should be aware of right now?
