"You're not a monster"
Shalra glanced around, suddenly aware of every little fault in her being after hearing those words. Had someone stared a little too long at her voidal tendrils? Maybe she was acting just too much like a creature of the abyss again.
"Mm, I appreciate the th-thought bu-but. Sometimes its har-hard to walk past my reflection and not fl-flinch. I-I may not be a monster on the outside, but damn is it har-hard to not f-feel like one on the inside."
Shalra would chuckle, "you'd th-think I'd be used to it by now."
Thanks for the ask @nixalegos
