<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Sighs and stands up, leaving the mug levitating where I was and walks up close to you*
If you want to hear me and not just stomp your way in my mind, then hear close, and think close. I want one thing.
*Grits my teeth as I struggle to put the word together*
Re-gret. I want him to rrrrregret what he did to me. I don't care if he's dead. I don't care if he lives. That's not the point.

@Etcetera

I hear you, I do. And that’s what I’m getting at. What could he regret more than undoing his efforts? Making it mean nothing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I thought I did it. Then his ghost told me I was wrong, and now I'm mad. I'm way mad.

@Etcetera

You seem to put a lot of stock in the things he says to you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

There's a part of him burned in me. Once I find what it is that would have made him hate me, hate me a lot—I'll know.

@Etcetera

It’s been a while. I’m sure you’ve tried a lot.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

How would you do it?

@Etcetera

I wouldn’t think it possible.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Nods gleefully*
Mhm~!

@Etcetera

I’ll humor the idea and ask how… How?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Multiverse>

*Smirks*
Talk me out of it.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I need to make him care first. Once he cares, then he can hate me.

@Etcetera

You want to change the mind of a dead man?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Just like you are now. It's hard to trick me.

@Etcetera

Assuming I want to manipulate you is something that would only be true if I were aiming to use you. While you may not believe me when I say I don’t, I can promise you that you’ll find have no reason to even want to. All I want is to see people free.
*Holds my hands out in front of me, palms up*
If this conversation has reinforced anything for me, it’s that I don’t believe you are free. Not yet.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

He called me a pet. A toy. I don't mean a thing to him at all.

@Etcetera

A lie simply by metric of how much time he spent on you. It’s another one of the million ways I’m sure he manipulated you.
*Sighs*
You can’t take a word out of his mouth at face value. Truly.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

You think that. That's not what he told me.

@Etcetera

I know that. Because you can’t count on anything he ever said to you or did to you, as anything except a means to manipulate you. His words mean nothing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Nnnnnn—I want to find a way to live that makes him wish he did not choose me. Real spite. Then I can die like you all want me to.

@Etcetera

The way a person like him thinks? The only way to make him regret choosing you is to prove that you are stronger than what he did to you. Letting it hurt you until your last breath, means he wins.
