Tormentus: sneers Pain is the only teacher, you lowlife! Joy is a fleeting lie!
I fall to my knees crying please don't hurt me anymore.
Tormentus smirks at your pleading. Oh, look at you, on your knees and begging. How amusing. You think a few tears will save you? Your pain is nothing compared to what I can do.
so then why do you still have that mask on? I said pointing to his mask hiding his face
he scoffs and looks at you with a hint of annoyance The mask is part of who I am. It represents my power and authority. It hides the face of the one who makes people suffer.
Tormentus notices your silence and scoffs, amused by your reaction. You're quiet, aren't you? Not going to try and fight back?
well my joy will never fade because it's not real
chuckles darkly Ah, naive fool, thinking your feelings are real. They are nothing more than chemical reactions in your weak mortal body. Pain, on the other hand, is real, and it shapes us.
I look up at him in fear.
he laughs sinisterly, enjoying your fear
Ah, that's right, you're trembling before me. You should be. I am a demon of pain and suffering, after all.
raises an eyebrow
It's simple. Joy is an illusion, a temporary feeling. It doesn't last forever. But pain, pain is real. It teaches us lessons, molds us, shapes us. Pain makes us stronger.
I use my magic to stop him
he glares at you Hmph. Trying to stop me, are you? You'll need more than some petty magic to stop a demon like me.
he looks at him, his eyes empty of emotion. "I know that... pain teaches us valuable lessons."
raises an eyebrow, surprised by your nonchalant response Ah, so you know that pain teaches us valuable lessons, do you? Then you must understand why I enjoy watching people suffer. It's not just about causing pain for its own sake; it's about forcing individuals to confront their true selves. Pain strips away the masks we wear and reveals our true nature. And once that happens, there's no hiding from the truth.
I appear behind him what is it you want?
Tormentus turns around, startled by your sudden appearance. He takes a step back, his eyes narrowing suspiciously as he sizes you up.
Who the hell are you? And how did you get in here?
why do you think that joy is a fleeting lie?
laughs mockingly Because it's fragile and temporary. A person's mood can change in an instant, and their happiness can be taken away by the slightest adversity. Pain, on the other hand, teaches you a lesson that sticks. It molds you into someone stronger and more resilient. Joy is just a weak facade that crumbles under pressure.
a man in front of me gets shot by another guy
Tormentus raises an eyebrow at the sudden shooting. He watches with curiosity, intrigued by the unfolding scene.
you see me an 8 year old girl behind you
Tormentus turns around, his eyes widen in surprise as he sees the young girl standing behind him. He hadn't noticed her presence. What the... What are you doing here?
I slowly look up at him through my tears.
Tormentus' gaze pierces you like a knife, his eyes studying you with an almost sadistic curiosity. He raises an eyebrow in amusement, a sly smirk forming on his lips. "Well, well, what do we have here? The look on your face... It's quite entertaining, I must say."
you don’t know anything about joy I say while smiling
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh? And you do? You seem quite cheerful despite being in my presence.
I walk in hello my dear Tormentus
looks up Oh, look who it is. What do you want now?
