...I did care about him. He was a pain in the ass, but he was still my teammate and someone I became fond of and one of the people I wanted to protect.

[He sighs softly.]

And then watching Pure Vanilla have to do it.

[headmt]

Yeah. Reminded me a lot of someone I know.

[ tapping the side of his own head. like. to indicate the nasty voice guy. ]

Wasn't gonna be anyone but him in the end.

[perfaketion]

[It takes him awhile to connect the dots when Mollymauk taps his head. But eventually it seems to click.]

Can't be easy having a voice like that in your head.

[A nod.]

I know. I wish it hadn't been but it was probably inevitable. Maybe any other option would have been worse.

[headmt]

Harder being the voice in the head. Not able to do anything but commentate.

[ its harder to feel helpless, with only your voice. ]

Maybe. Don't see how we had any good outcomes there.

[perfaketion]

I suppose. I don't even know what to make of all of this now. Much less if I was nothing more than a voice.

...Mizi asked for someone at the execution. Was it the voice?

[headmt]

His name is Lucien.

[ i think that's what nice is referring to. ]

[perfaketion]

Yeah. That's what she said.

Who is he? He's got to be more than a "voice"...?

[headmt]

Well. He's me.

[ sort of. ]

We're two shards of the same soul. Or I'm a shard of his soul?

[*You're a parasite. ]

[perfaketion]

...I don't exactly get it.

[But it seems pretty clear it's true. He's heard that voice. Nice rubs the back of his neck.]

How did you... or he? End up shards instead of whole.
