It's hard to, yeah? You've been helping us from the start, so it's hard to think of you as jailers. I told you that the first week. Cruel, untrustworthy people don't stick their necks out for sacrifices.
Besides, before I got here I still thought the cult killed you for helping us. Gave you a bit of sympathy points.
[ VIOLENCE EMOTIONS his feelings are just gently humored because he is a Revenge Guy and would not stop any of them ]
Well, it'd probably be for the best. [ he recognizes that much, the cult is a hazard. ] Though I feel that all of you have done enough without having to clean up after the cult as well. And they're quite strong, besides.
There are some people that I don't want to have to do it. [he can probably guess who.] What I hope, right, is they'll leave the heavy shit to people like me.
[there's a little squiggly thought that's sort of like along the lines of not possessed, won't be your friends, it's fine.]
[ in a way, he agrees. if someone has to get their hands dirty, it may as well be those who've already trekked through the mud? but his emotions are obviously heavy as he thinks so.
by contrast, when he touches her elbow, it's very light. tentative. ]
I can't promise that everything will turn out just fine. I don't know exactly what fate has in store for us. ...But I do know that monster inside you is good and gone.
[ if they die, they die as themselves, and together, at least. ]
[she's not expecting the touch, but... it's nice! it makes her feel a little better.]
That is a relief.
[she can die as herself. she's okay with that. she doesn't want to, but she'd prefer that.]
I don't think I even need a promise that things will be okay. As long as I've got the ability to try, to hold my own fucking future in my own two hands, that's good enough. Even if I fuck it up.

Ah... right. I did assume that would make some of you more... trusting.
[ thinks about the people who said they'd protect his glass bone self w0. did all the npcs end up emotionally manipulating everyone? possibly. ]
I suppose we'll have to decide soon what we'll be doing with the cult, if we survive this at all.

I mean, if anything, you all are going to be the only four left in it.

You let me out there in the middle of them, Nehan, I've got a bone to pick! Many bones. Maybe some skulls.

...Mostly I don't want you all to have to kill anymore.
[ he is not a big fan of murder despite being an edgelord. it would be nice if his acquaintances (friends) did not have to kill a bunch of people. ]
