you become stronger the moment you decide which sins are no longer yours to bear.
winnie shrunk back in her seat, head lolling. it was the worst response——only because it was right. speaking to wiser entities was frustrating, even more so when it seemed to be with an older version of herself. she'd craved familial intimacy for so long, and now she wanted to flee.
“ it is. it's already happening. ” forgoing her prim mask, winnie leaned forward, hard fingers pressed against her temples, rubbing in circles. “ you are saying. . .i do not need to be responsible for their sins. and you're right. why is it that immortals——? ” she huffed, jawline clenched. out with it !
“ i don't understand why we cannot coexist. are humans really so inferior? do they deserve for their necks to be wrung out, their bodies abandoned in the road at midnight? but that is not the question at hand, is it? ”
her lips pressed. “ they're. . .they're not savages. i have a younger brother, an older sister, my mum and dad. my brother is going through that i'm so superior phase i fear will never die. my sister, oh, she's evil dripping in elegance. would rather enslave a human man and drain him slowly than stain her dress. ”
she paused, smiling despite herself with a glimmer of pride in her eyes.
“ my parents. . .clinging onto the old days like usurped royalty. my mum calls this playing dolls. ” she waved about and her plants swayed.
“ the problem, my lady—is that i still love them. i would die for them, take their punishment for them over and over. is that strength? or am i foolish? ” her smile withered. “ it's okay if i am. nothing is solved overnight, right? do you have family? a harem of maidens, perhaps? ”
winnie plucked a napkin and slid it across the table. “ my application, do sign me up, please. ”
