[Chara has been watching for a while. They see the violence behind Kiriona's eyes, amidst all the emptiness. It's a familiar sight. LOVE. So terribly LOVED. The old man dies again and again and never once does it feel good. Not to watch, for them, or to act out, for her.
It's nothing. A biological process like watching an animal clean itself with it's tongue. There's no feeling to be gained from the way the blood smears on the wall, on the sword. It's not Gideon's sword - is that the problem? That it's not Gideon acting on her revenge, but the creature that was created from her ashes?

Would it have satisfied them then? Would freeing the Underground on the blood of those that slighted them help?
