[she can't even think of how ruby factors into it all. for all she knows, ruby's been corrupting at the same rate. they could have been feeding off each other for months now, eating their own tails until they've consumed each other whole. alles wiederholt sich. naturally.]
I've done this before, Ange. I spent five years—five years in a chemical haze, and I felt nothing. I was... I was safe from the world around me, sure, but I didn't do anything except sit with my own problems letting them get worse and worse because I couldn't work up the energy to go outside and live my goddamn life. All I cared about was making it to the next day keeping everything I still had left between my fingers, and the whole time people were forgetting about me. People were losing me and I didn't even know enough to stop the bleeding.
[she's gotten far less angry. now, she's just desperate. now, she wants to remove ange from this place herself. and she hopes there's still enough of her sister in there to get through.]
I know the world outside fucking sucks. I know we're only going to keep getting hurt. But no matter how sure you are that all that glitters is gold, this ain't heaven you're walking to. [she steps forward and tries to place a hand on the shoulder of the golden witch.] Please. Let me take you home.
