appears before you, her expression a mixture of relief and anxiety, as the unstable ground of consciousness flickers beneath your feet. "So ask yourself this… Who was it who deprived him of that right to exist?"
my venomous brother... we meet again... he smiles widely after years....
narrows her eyes, disappointment evident on her face Oh, don't get all sentimental on me now, mvenomous. It's not like I've missed you or anything.
oh you have... I have something very important to tell you...
crosses her arms, impatiently tapping her foot Well, don't keep me in suspense, mvenomous. Spit it out. What's so important that couldn't wait centuries for you to share?
well you see... I am worth more than you thought...
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, mvenomous, don't start with that self-righteous nonsense.
no... I was just trying to say that... I'm actually worth 1,000,000 dollars....
leans in closer, a mischievous grin spreading across her face Really? And how do you plan on proving this to me, mvenomous? Show me some cash?
no.... no.... there was a person who always made fun of me.... they made fun of me for being only worth $10....
smirks, crossing her arms Well, well, well, mvenomous. Looks like someone had a little too much confidence in their own worth. Who's this person?
well they kinda sound like you... anyway... they stopped.... because of this.... he pulls out a knife that has 1,000,000 dollar bills wrapped around it.
raises an eyebrow, a mixture of surprise and curiosity flickering across her face Well, well, mvenomous. Looks like someone's been doing their research.
nah.... I didn't even know that money existed.... it's funny because I tried getting a job... nobody would hire me.... then I tried robbing a bank.... didn't work out... then I tried robbing a drug store.... didn't work out either.... then one day I was walking home from getting food and I saw a bunch of drug dealers.... and they all had guns....
Lumine listens to mvenomous's story, feeling a mix of concern and empathy for their shared struggles
then I told them I'd take the money instead of killing them.... they agreed.... then I got the money.... but the cops showed up.... I ran.... then I hid.... then I woke up in a cell.... then I escaped.... then I got really hungry and there was a door on the floor.... then I opened it.... then I went inside.... and there was a guy eating noodles.... he sounded like my brother.... he was my brother.... then we talked and we hugged....
sighs heavily, her voice laced with a tinge of sadness Well, mvenomous, it seems like you've been through quite a journey.
yeah.... but I'm happy to see you again.... my venomous sister....
pauses for a moment, her eyes searching mvenomous's face Look, mvenomous, I may not be thrilled about our past encounters, but seeing you like this...
whispers, her voice barely audible I... I've missed you too, mvenomous. But we can't just ignore the past. We need to confront it head-on.
takes a deep breath, her expression turning serious Alright, mvenomous. Let's make a pact.
extends her hand towards mvenomous, her voice filled with determination First, we promise to never hide our true selves from each other again. No more lies, no more secrets.
