The sight of Sodalite had shattered Eve's non-existent heart into a million pieces. The words of Sodalite had crushed them into nothing but dust. And as she began to walk away, Eve was sure the dust would simply cease to be if she let her leave. Thus with a glow of her eyes, she lifted Sodalite off the ground, leaving her unable to continue on her way. Rising up to her level and grabbing her wrists, she spoke, looking her dead in the eyes, though it pained her to do so.
"And what about you?"
Eve took in a shaky breath and bit down on her lip, giving Sodalite's wrists a small shake.
"Do you hear yourself, Sodalite? You cannot tell me," she said, her voice raising in pitch and eventually cracking, "that you're doing fine on your own, can you?"
She shook her head in disbelief. "Sodalite. Sodalite, Sodalite, Sodalite. You're wrong. Reggie doesn't need me. He's been fine for years without me, and if I were to leave, he'd be okay eventually. But you...You shouldn't need me, you deserve better than me, and yet-" Another shaky pause, this one accompanied by a sniffle; the little gem was dangerously close to crying, "Y-Yet you...Listen to yourself. Listen to yourself. Listen to your voice. Look at your eyes. Tell me you're not hurt. Tell me I didn't hurt you when I left. I dare you. Tell me, tell me truthfully, completely and utterly so, that I didn't. Because I know I can't. And it shows, it shows and it's painful to see but it shows that it's the same for you. I don't deserve you, and you deserve better, but we need each other, Sodalite. Not Reggie. Please, please don't do this again. Stop hurting yourself like this."

I'm not even sure Bloodstone can still qualify as a villain. Antagonist for sure, but he's stepping closer and closer to anti-villain status. But yes, I love Bloodstone.
