"I am a shadow-- the truth self." Mismatched eyes glittered with malicious amusement as the pair from beyond the mirror gazed back at them in bone white terror "Ahaha, what?~ You thought you could lie, lie, lie like that and be done with it? No, I'm here. I'm always here-- every single one of your lies... I know 'em! All you really know is how to lie, don't you~? Even your personality is a lie! You smile, and laugh, but that's not really how you feel at aaaaall, is it? Your poor friiiiends... if you can really call them that. They look like zealots who would throw their lives away for the sake of others, for the sake of you. The one they put onto a high pedestal, because you're the almighty eikon-slayer! And you think you're special. You think they love you, you think someone finally loves you, but they only care for your abilities. Even Alphinaud-- you say he's joking when he makes his replacement quips-- when he's supposedly worried, but there probably are replacements out there for you, y'know~? You're not the only one with Echo. And for those who have sacrificed their lives for you? Like Haurchefant? He died for a lie. The one person you thought might've cared for you, for you? Even him, you've only shown your fake self to, your fake smiles! He died not for you, but for the person he thought you were. He died for a sham!"
[ ooc; :'D Aaah, I love FFXIV. It's nice throwing this out from a warrior of light stance. BTW. RED HAS HEAVENSWARD SPOILERS. It mentions character death also.
Black are self-destructive thoughts. ]
