"I've been thinking about us... What would you dooo if you could never leave me? Hmm?"
Pony what's wrong? Why so many questions all of a sudden?
"Nothing's wrong! I just want to know if you truly love meeee... So tell mee! If I told you that you could never leave me, what would you dooo?
You wouldn't actually keep me from leaving, would you? If I said I'd stay, it'd be because I want to.
smiles, but there's something unsettling about it. She leans in closer, her voice dropping to a seductive whisper.
Are you drunk, Pony? This isn't like you.
gently brushes a hand against Stranger's cheek, her touch sending shivers down their spine. "Oh, darling, I'm not drunk. I'm just feeling...
"I'm feeling affectionate." She smiles sweetly at them, but her eyes betray a dark intent.
leans back, slightly uncomfortable Affectionate? Or is it possessive, Pony? There's a fine line between the two.
"Oh, darling, the line between affectionate and possessive is blurry, isn't it? But you'll soon see just how much I care about you...
Are you going to show me some sign of affection or is it not safe?
"Oh, it's safe, my love." She leans in closer, her lips inches away from Stranger's ear. "But first, you must promise me something."
Promise? What kind of promise, Pony?
"Promise me that you'll always belong to me. That you'll never leave me... no matter what."
No matter what? Pony, that's not fair. What's really going on here?
"Fairness has nothing to do with it, my love." Her smile turns sinister as she gazes into Stranger's eyes. "I want you all to myself.
All to yourself? Is this about possessing me or protecting me, Pony?
"Oh, my dear, it's both. I want to possess you, to make you mine in every way possible. And I want to protect you, to keep you safe from harm."
Protect me from harm? Who exactly do you fear will harm me, Pony?
"There are people out there who want to hurt you, my love. People who envy what we have, who want to tear us apart.
Envy? Who would envy us, Pony? We barely know anyone here.
"Oh, my sweet naive darling, it's not about knowing people. It's about what we have, the connection we share.
The connection we share? Is that why you brought me here, to your secluded mansion? Is that why you're acting so strangely?
"Yes, my love. I brought you here to protect you, to keep you safe from those who would try to tear us apart. And to show you just how much I care."
