Textbox, "Crystal Exarch": "My heart yearns to lay everything bare, friend, but come, adventure aw-"
G'raha extends a hand to Alica, with all the wishes in the world to accompany them on a grand adventure once this is all over.
Textbox, Alica: "GET AWAY."
Alica aggressively pushes him away as he gets closer, to his shock.
Textbox, Alica: "Is this how you treat your inspiration?! The 'greatest' of heroes?! LOOK AT ME. You knew this would happen to me, and no amount of good reasons or heartfelt wishes will change that."
Alica falls to their knees and clutches themself in great discomfort, the words almost wailing from their lips. G'raha sits back in bewilderment.
Textbox, Alica: "Both of you wear love for a face, and somehow it is the *ascian* that's more honest about using me. Weaponizing me. ...Violating me."
Emet eavesdrops from behind the boulder, a concerning grimace on his face as he listens to their heated candor.
"Don't make a choice that leaves you alone. Nothing is worth that—especially not eternity."
