Here's the "Ren kept you forever..." ending for an anon who asked. :D Script under the read-more. (I also included the directions / reminders I usually write for myself lol.)
They're both tired. Trying to hide the reality of what he/they did from from themselves, from God maybe. To talk too loud about it, makes it more real.
MC: Ugh…
[I woke up with a deep feeling of dread. Then I realized where I was and it doubled.]
Ren: H…Hey…
[I couldn't get Lawrence's face out of my head…And by the looks of it neither could Ren. There was a tense silence before Ren finally spoke.]
Haunted, regretful face, looking at the ground
Ren: I…thought it would be easy.
Ren: I've never…I mean not really.
[I looked at him questioningly.]
He looks at you
Ren: Killed someone…
Ren: Not before Lawrence…
MC: What about that guy in the basement?
*Shocked face into, shamed, nervous and vunerable face.*
Ren: What!?
Ren: H-how did you…
MC: …I went into the basement when you were gone.
MC: And I saw…
MC: Well…you know.
[He looked flustered and scared.]
Ren: I-I didn't kill him!
Ren: He died…by himself.
[I remembered the man in the freezer. All that blood…and his chest…]
MC: How did he die?
Shocked face
Ren: wordless, sad, nervous noise
[Ren visibly clammed up.]
Nervous face, bead of sweat on side of head.
Ren: He…He brought someone home. He sometimes…
[I waited patiently for him to continue.]
Calmer face trying to play it cool.
Ren: He sometimes hurt people…
[I looked at Ren's face and neck. Suddenly wondering about those scars. ]
Haunted, nervous vulnerable
Ren: He messed up. T-they got a knife. And...Well. T-they both ended up dead.
[I tried to think it over for a moment. It wasn't adding up. I looked back at Ren.]
MC: He…Hurt people,Ren?
[Ren looked uncomfortable.]
Ren: Well…he said…that's how you can really know someone. More neutral expression Like really REALLY know them.
[I squinted at Ren.]
Ren: So…blasé expression trying to detach So yeah. Sometimes he hurt people. Nervous S-sometimes he…killed people.
[I remembered the basement. And the stains on the floor.]
MC: It Sounds like he was a fuckin' psychopath then, Ren you-
[His fur bristled.]
Eyes wide brows furrowed, frown.
Ren: Gritting teeth at first. No! Weak people die! Strong people live! That's how it works!
MC: Isn't he dead though?
Still angry face.
Ren: louder T-that…more detached exhausted anger quieter That was a stupid mistake!
nervous regretful face Ren: It wasn't fair…
[He took a few deep breaths, looking like he was trying to hold back tears.]
looking at viewer
Ren: He was the only one…He took care of me..
MC: It looks like he only hurt you…
[He couldn't hold back his tears any more.]
Ren: That's not true! He…He…No ever cared about me like that! He /loved/ me…
[Ren sniffed and slouched, shrinking down.]
Ren: And now that he's gone…I've never felt more empty.
[He started sobbing.]
Ren: Why…why did I…
MC: What did you do?
[I asked him cautiously. Quietly, almost a whisper. I could tell he was unstable. Dangerous even…]
[Ren sniffed and lifted his head]
Ren: I didn't do anything.
[I looked at him confused]
Ren: I didn't…I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything. He told me to help him. He even begged me.
…But I didn't do anything. I just stood there. I could only think of the things…all the things he did…panicked, regretful...WHY DIDN'T I HELP HIM!
MC: You don't need him.
Ren: W-what?
MC: You have me now.
Ren: Neutral facial expression I have you now…
[He shook his head]
happy, kind of sad facial expression
Ren: L-look at me, getting all worked up about the past.
[His worried expression was only partially replaced by a strange smile.]
Ren: looking off to the side blasé expression, detaching once again, darkly ironic
I don't need to worry about him...anymore.
confident smirk with underlying menace
And you don't need to worry about anything. His eyes glow green, too friendly…You'll never leave me…I won't let you die…I'll take care of you…forever.
