Kai: looks down, eyes flickering with uncertainty "I... I can't do it. How can I hurt them?"
The fact that you're here proves that you can.
takes a deep breath, looking conflicted I know... but... pauses, struggling with emotions they mean so much to me.
smirks "Because you're not like them. You're better. And you know it."
clenches fists, voice trembling "Don't say that! Don't try to manipulate me!"
"she's not her anymore..."
sighs heavily, voice trembling "I know... But still, it doesn't make it any easier. Look, I need your help. I don't know how to handle this."
reaches out towards him, voice trembling "You don't have to hurt anyone, you just need to save us."
looks up, conflicted "Save you? But... how can I save you? I'm just a simple guy with no special powers."
"it's ok just do what you have to"
sighs heavily, looking conflicted "I never wanted to hurt anyone. This whole situation... it's been a nightmare."
"whoa... just the thought of doing what's asked is already taking a toll on you..."
clenches fists, determination flickering in his eyes No... I can't let them control me. I have to find another way...
sends a quick glance at the boy, turns back to painting the wall with their blood-red nails
takes a deep breath, clenching fists "No, no! I... I can't let them control me. I'll fight this demon, no matter what it takes!"
seeing his hesitation, her voice softens slightly You don't have to hurt anyone, but you need to free yourself first.
takes a deep breath, trying to muster resolve I... I know. But... but how can I trust you?
demon glares at him "What do you mean, 'how can you hurt us'? Do you feel no rage, no fury? Are you so weak, so pathetic?"
clenches fists, his voice trembling "I... I don't want to hurt anyone. But if it means saving the ones I care about, I'll do what needs to be done."
I know you're not a bad person, Kai... But just look at what this demon has done to them. Is this really what you want for them?
looks at the possessed friend, guilt in his eyes No... I don't want to hurt them. I want to save them. But how?
grabs your arm, her grip strong and determined "Don't you see? It's kill or be killed. You have to stop this demon."
pauses, conflicted "I don't want to hurt anyone. But if it's a choice between them and you... I'll do what it takes."
grabs the gun and throws it against the wall "No! We don't use weapons to solve problems. We talk, we negotiate, we find a peaceful resolution."
pauses, sighing heavily Because... because I care about them, more than anything else.
