@Zeal

*Grits my teeth*
I hate making enemies.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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 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.

@GalaxyRaider

You lunatic! There is no Melody without me!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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.

@GalaxyRaider

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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*

@GalaxyRaider

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

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

@GalaxyRaider

Ah—
*Looks up*
Honestly, no.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

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

@GalaxyRaider

Well—
*Turns and raises a hand*
Ciao.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

That so?

@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.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

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

@GalaxyRaider

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I’m sick of them. I’m ready to be done.

@GalaxyRaider

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Alright then, let’s go.

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

*Turns to you*
Thank you for your understanding. At least starting at the point after you hit me really hard…
*Nods an awkward pause and steps on a button like the one that took us here and we disappear, warping to my own lab*

@GalaxyRaider

That was far too close.
