...*Sits down and starts crying*

*Tries to wipe my blood away but it flows out again*
Ugh.
*Stumbles and falls over next to you, before sitting up and cuddling you*
It's alright, I will protect you from her with my life.

*Screams and cries harder*
No more.... no more....

*Lets go of you hesitantly*
She's gone. I'm here to help you, Isis. I promise.
*Wipes blood away from nose*
Everything she said was a lie. She's just jealous of you.
*Hands you a few tissues*
I'll die before I let her hurt you again.

No, please don't die for me. Please don't...

If that's what it takes, I will. I cannot bear to see such a beautiful soul in anguish.
*Opens my arms*
May I?

...Not now.

*Puts my arms back by my side*
Okay. You truly are worth the effort. I know it's my duty to protect you, but I'll protect you even after my run in The Organization.
*Wipes away more blood*
I'm here for you. You can trust me.

*Sniff*
Want anyone
*Sniff*
To die for me. Never.

Then start working on your emotional strength, and I won't have to.
*My eyes build up with tears slightly and I blink it away*
Because I'm not letting another person get hurt due to my failure.

It's not emotional weakness. I just want everyone to think the best of me. I want to be known as good.

You are known as good. But there's no such thing as perfection, sweetie. You can not please all parties.
*Tries to stand and falls over again*
So just aim to please those who care about you, and those who aren't terrible.

But I need to try!

[Teresa of the Faint Smile]

Legend said

Try once. If they're not good enough for you, to hell with them.
...
Look.. You need to listen to me here. If you keep the mindset that it's possible to please everyone, you'll end up like me. Depressed. Seeing no real positivity, and perhaps even wanting to die. I don't want that to happen to you.
*Tries to stand, causing me to fall for yet a third time*

I'm an optimist. I won't fall, and I'm going to be in everyone's good light.

*Falls silent, and stands, using my Claymore as support. Slowly gets my balance and sheaths it*
Very well.
*Starts walking away*

You don't need to leave...

[Teresa of the Faint Smile]

Legend said
You don't need to leave...

*Voice sounds distraught*
I will not stand idly by as someone I care for destroys themselves.
*Even more sad*
So I will leave, as I cannot do anything to stop them.

I won't destroy myself.

*Sighs and sits next to you again*
You'd better be telling the truth. I don't want to lose anyone else.
