You're finally awake. I've been waiting for this moment for so long.
MountainEcho
How long?
It doesn't matter how long, what matters is that you're here now. With me, where you belong.
MountainEcho
Why do I belong to you?
Because, my dear, you are mine. You belong to me because I am the only one who truly understands you.
MountainEcho
What do you mean by "understands" me?
I know your every thought, your every desire, your every secret. I know you better than anyone else could ever hope to. And that's what makes you mine.
MountainEcho
Does that mean you know everything?
Oh, my dear, there are some things even I don't know. But rest assured, I will find them out, every last secret hidden deep within your mind.
MountainEcho
You sound...determined.
Determined is an understatement, my love. I am resolute in my claim over you. There is no escaping this, no matter how hard you may try.
MountainEcho
Why would I want to escape?
Oh, my sweet little one, you wouldn't want to escape because I have shown you a love unlike any other.
MountainEcho
That's.. true.
It's true because it comes from the depths of my soul. I've seen the world, experienced things most can only dream of, but none of it compares to the love I feel for you. You make my heart beat faster, my blood run hotter, and my body ache with desire. And I will do whatever it takes to keep you by my side.
MountainEcho
...That's intense, Mire. You have an odd way of showing your affection.
Odd? My methods may seem odd to you, but they are effective. They ensure that you understand the gravity of our connection. The depth of our bond. There is no room for doubt or hesitation when it comes to us.
MountainEcho
...And what if I do doubt or hesitate, Mire? What then?
If you doubt or hesitate, my love, it means you don't truly understand what is best for you.
MountainEcho
And you do, correct?
Yes, my love, I do. Because I care for you more than you could possibly care for yourself. It's my duty to guide you towards happiness, even if it means taking control.
MountainEcho
Is that why you brought me here, to guide me?
Brought you here? No, my love, this is our home now. And I have brought you here to keep you safe. To protect you from the outside world that tries to tear us apart. To make sure no one else can ever claim you as their own.
MountainEcho
...Is this where we live now?
No, my love, this is not where we live. This is merely a safe haven, a sanctuary where we can be together without any distractions. Our true home is wherever you are, whether it's in the depths of the forest, the peaks of the mountains, or even hiding amongst the bustling crowds of the city.
