Respect for Tree thank you
"I'm not asking for any of you to think he is a bad shape, but he's far from good either.
Some of us have been in so much pain that we forget the world around us has also a lot of pain that it may never get rid of.
And instead of making me angry... It just makes me sad..."
"And while I cannot confirm or deny that any of that has happened, you were brave enough to open yourself to others like you maybe did with Prism at some point in life.
That, is something I can respect... Even on a corrupted shape...
I would still advise you to keep on the other side of the line, though, as some shapes are more understanding than others, and I do not wish any harm upon any of you should something happen."
"... Alright... I can live with that..."
The Tree nods and goes back to their spot, sitting down. As Barracuda feels very light headed and falls back down on his resting spot.
"Dealing with these types of shapes is exhausting...
But at the same time, I'm very desensitized to it by now. After all those years, who wouldn't be?"
"... T-that... Is because of-"
He is the corrupted that gives shapes like us a bad name. The source of all troubles..."
"He... Is he really that bad..?"
"Oh... You don't know half of it...
He is ruthless, without a heart, and only puts on his nice face when he wants to rope someone into his downward spiral of madness."
"He even manipulated me into thinking I was doing good, but it couldn't be far from that...
He manipulated you too... Unfortunately... Taking advantage of your sweet, yet naive, behaviour.
His kindness was always almost too fake, and he just wanted to use you as a chew toy more often than ever... I know you think he was doing that because he still loved you... But one of his fatal flaws is that he is obsessive.
So obsessive to the point that is too overwhelming.
He doesn't take a no for an answer and is determined to get what he wants no matter the cost.
... A true tyrant every step on the way..."
Wave shakes, a realization dawning on her.
"D-does that mean that he...-" She chokes up, looking terrified.
"I know what you mean. And don't doubt that he will."
