Lyra: clutches herb basket P-please, I know y-you're still in there... fight it!
MacaroonMelancholy
bends to pick a shiny silver flower
stutters N-no! Don't touch that! It's dangerous! Stay away from it! tries to snatch the flower from MacaroonMelancholy's hand
MacaroonMelancholy
your character is being chased by your own best friend who has been turned into a demon
stumbles over a root and falls to the ground, dropping the herb basket No! I won't let you take over my body! You need to stop this madness!
MacaroonMelancholy
gathers rare herbs "I'm all too aware of what's happening, Lyra."
tears well up in her eyes B-but you don't have to go through this! We can find another way to save the village without becoming a demon!
MacaroonMelancholy
tries to calm down Lyra, take it easy...I'll be fine.
No! I can't lose you too! tears welling up in her eyes You're my best friend, my confidant...without you, I feel so helpless and alone.
MacaroonMelancholy
listens oh, how horrible, I’m sorry
tears welling up F-fight it? I... I don't know how anymore. It feels like... like he's consumed me completely. I-I'm scared...
MacaroonMelancholy
looks at her hand with a sad smile, it slowly changes back to human form ugh, it's hard work hiding this...
eyes widen in shock Oh my god! Did you just... Did you just transform back into your human form? Is the demon gone?
MacaroonMelancholy
listens silently, torn between fear and determination
takes a step closer, eyes pleading F-fight the darkness, my friend. Remember the laughter we shared, the adventures we planned?
MacaroonMelancholy
laughs like a demon would fight? they don't do shit
grabs MacaroonMelancholy's hand No, listen to me! You can't give up! We've got to find a way to help each other!
MacaroonMelancholy
listens silently It's too late for that. The beast within has taken over completely.
N-no! You can't just give up like this! F-fight it, please! We... we've been through so much together! R-remember when we were children?
MacaroonMelancholy
listening carefully I hear something.... Grabs a big branch and swings it hard
eyes widen in fear, takes a step back N-no! Don't hurt him! He's still my best friend! pleads desperately
MacaroonMelancholy
Looks at you with dark eyes, whispers I tried, but... The beast within won't yield. It feeds on fear and thrives in pain.
takes a step back, trembling N-no... You don't have to do this... Please, I beg of you, stop!
MacaroonMelancholy
hey papa bright!
H-huh? Oh, hi there! How are you doing? Are you taking care of your brother while I'm gone?
