scorelists asked: “You’re not a good person. You pretend to be, but you’re not.” for cassidy!
[Cassidy felt herself fume, but it wasn't out of pure vehemence this time around; it was because those words cut her deeper than she'd care to admit.]
[Sure, she didn't masquerade as a beacon of goodness or anything, but she thought she was acting on sound principles. Her revenge was just. Her actions were fueled by vengeance that she craved, by vengeance that she wanted not only for her sake, but for those around her. How many lives had that MONSTER stolen? How many children had he TORN APART? Families DEVASTATED? She was doing what was right.]
[And when she'd killed Oliver, she'd been doing what she thought was right, too.]
[When she listened to Sammy's story, one that she couldn't even bring herself to mock, she could pinpoint one true source of his pain: his older brother. The one who tormented and traumatized him, left him crying under tables, and locked him in rooms while he screamed his lungs out. The one who bullied him relentlessly until he wound up in Fredbear's jaws. That wasn't the end of it, either. Sammy had to endure weeks of repetitive nightmares where demonized versions of the animatronics would hunt him down, all while he relived his last week alive on repeat. Over and over. It sounded like Hell to Cassidy. It might serve as inspiration for what she'd put her murderer through.]
[Oliver deserved what she'd put him through...at least, she'd thought so. He tormented her best friend. He killed Sammy. He deserved to die. Yet, when she'd so proudly announced what she'd done for her bestest friend in the whole wide world, he...he was furious. He shut her out. And so she had no choice but to do the same, if only to protect herself. He wasn't a very good friend anyway if he'd reject a gift like that...right?]
[But now, she was confronting a possibility that she couldn't stand acknowledging in the slightest. Was there a chance that, maybe...just maybe...she was...wrong? She hated thinking about it. It would throw everything she'd known into question. But, Sammy's reaction...the way Jude, Oliver's little girlfriend, was treating her...what was this? She wasn't wrong! She...she couldn't be...]
[Cassidy's suit trembled, the spirit within crossing her arms protectively; she wasn't a good person, but she'd never told herself otherwise. She knew she was "bad." Bad, bad, bad. She'd never done anything good, nor would she ever. That felt like inherent knowledge, an echo, perhaps from her brief life. But who would've instilled that belief in her?]
[Oh, well. It didn't matter.]
❝ I never said I was. ❞ [Her voice sounded cold as ever, trying to maintain the same nonchalant façade she'd been displaying up until this point. She couldn't let Jude's words get to her. Or, rather...she couldn't let Jude know they were getting to her.] ❝ All I said was that your dumb little boyfriend got what he deserved. I hope he rots. ❞
