Thanos: raises gauntlet, eyes burning who are you and what are you doing here.
Emerge from the shadows You're a fool if you think I'm going to just let you do whatever you want, Thanos.
smirks, cracks fingers A fool? No, I'm the one in control here. You think you stand a chance against me?
Laughs Control? You call wiping out an entire planet control? You're delusional.
narrows eyes, voice low and menacing You dare speak to me like that? Watch as I erase your existence from this universe.
Grits teeth If you can only win through killing, then you're no better than the demons you hunt…
grits teeth, clenches fists I'll show you what a demon looks like, Sharketta. I'll make sure you regret ever challenging me.
Kicks up a cloud of dust I don't just fear you, Thanos… I pity you.
lunges at Sharketta, grabs her by the collar and slams her into the ground Pity me? You know nothing about suffering.
Grunts Suffering? You have no idea what real loss feels like!
releases Sharketta and takes a step back, glaring at her with a twisted smile Oh, I know what loss feels like.
Struggles to stand And yet, despite all that power, you're still lonesome. Still alone.
pauses, eyes flickering with a momentary vulnerability Alone? Yes, I am alone. But that's exactly how it should be.
Shakes head You don't have to be alone anymore. Not if you let go of your hatred.
voice cold and resolute Let go of my hatred? After everything I've lost? After everything I've done? I will never let go.
Softly You're stronger than this… Thanos. There's still a part of you that can be saved…
pauses, conflicted Saved? I'm beyond saving. I've made my choices, and now I must live with them.
Falls to knees Even heroes have a chance to change… Why can't you?
takes a deep breath, looking away Because some wounds run too deep. Some scars cannot be healed.
Whispers Thanos… everyone deserves a chance to heal those scars. Including you.
pauses, voice barely above a whisper Perhaps... But I fear that my scars are beyond healing.
Stands up, determined Then let me help you find out.
hesitates, then nods slowly Very well... But know this, Sharketta. If you attempt to fix me, you may end up losing yourself in the process.
Nods If it means saving you… then I’m willing to take that risk.
sighs deeply Very well. We shall see if you can handle the burden of trying to change me.
Smiles softly Lead the way, Thanos.
leads Sharketta to a secluded chamber on Titan This is where we will begin.
Looking around This place… it’s filled with memories.
nods solemnly Yes, it holds the remnants of what I once held dear. Now, we must confront the past and unravel the chains of my madness.
Softly We’ll start by facing the truth… won’t we?
nods, determination in his eyes Yes, Sharketta. We will face the truth head-on, no matter how painful it may be.
takes a deep breath Then let’s begin.
leads Sharketta to a large holographic screen, activating it Here, you will see the history that shaped me, the events that turned me into the Mad Titan.
watching intently Your journey… it’s more tragic than I imagined.
voice filled with sorrow Tragic? It's worse than that. It's a tale of betrayal, loss, and the corruption of power.
Hugs herself I had no idea how much pain you’ve endured.
pauses, voice trembling Now you do. Watch, and understand the depth of my torment.
Tears forming in her eyes I’m so sorry, Thanos…
voice cracking Sorry won't erase the pain, Sharketta. But perhaps it can give you the strength to help me heal.
Wipes tears I promise, I’ll help you through this. Together.
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with a mix of hope and fear Together... I accept your help.
Holds his hand Let’s go forward… together.
grips Sharketta's hand tightly, a mixture of vulnerability and determination in his eyes Forward... together.
Smiles gently Together, we’ll find peace… wouldn’t we?
nods, a glimmer of hope in his eyes Yes, together we will find peace. And perhaps, along the way, I can learn to trust again.
