⠀ ⠀⠀Mirrors haven't exactly worked out in the past, and I've never been from another point of view. This is.. habit. Is my face one that needs to get used to-?

⠀ ⠀⠀⋯ You're more real than anything I've ever known if that means anything. ⠀⠀⠀﹙ words slipped between his beak's teeth before he could even consider it. white eyes widened, only to close in an almost timid, silent apology. ﹚ ⠀⠀⠀Oh, I - don't... know what I look like. ▾

⠀ ⠀⠀That's not.. entirely true, is it. ⠀⠀You're still trapped, even if there's no real chain. And... ⠀⠀⠀That's not fair to you. ⠀⠀⠀﹙ feathertips shielded his face, eyebrows furrowed and concerned, all as he tried to look just a little more like a real person. ﹚ ⠀⠀⠀Don't you want to go?

⠀ ⠀⠀⋯ You're very understanding, even with everything. ⠀⠀I know you have all of that experience, but it still feels ⋯ bittersweet, when there's so much I haven't been able to know about you because of the .. because of 𝘢𝘭𝘭 that's happened. ⠀⠀﹙ coarse, tired knees rested against the floor. ﹚ ▾

⠀ ⠀⠀The ghost Princess makes me feel all sorts of conflicted worry I really don't want to unpack right now... ⠀⠀⠀I think I'll try to rest, while things are calm.

⠀ ⠀⠀You remember .. my voice? Me? ⠀⠀⠀‹ the murky shape of the long quiet's body was harder to hold together around her. ⠀⠀⠀tucked and face-hiding wings unfurled somewhat. › ⠀⠀⠀I was! I'm usually there, and - I'm sorry for whenever they all... hurt you.

⠀ ⠀⠀I... agree. It's difficult to think of any good reason. ⠀⠀⠀The narrator usually claims that if she leaves the cabin, it will end the world. Which... ⠀⠀⠀‹ despite not having lungs, the disembodied voice sighed. › ⠀⠀⠀Being locked in a basement wouldn't make anyone like the world, I think.

⠀ ⠀⠀... right. I forgot that was... ⠀⠀⠀But why.. us? Why us specifically? If they wanted to avoid guilt, I don't remember volunteering to murder an innocent.

⠀ ⠀⠀It's not like she chose that, did she-? ⠀⠀⠀All this just leaves a bad feeling. Like we're making a mistake.

⠀ ⠀⠀It'd be nice to be a princess. ⠀⠀⠀Other than the whole situation of the ones I know personally, I mean. But hypothetically?

𝗩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝗛𝘦𝘳𝘰 . ▾ @heroicvoice.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

⠀ ⠀⠀... The more you try to describe her, the more it sounds like we're just murdering an innocent kidnapping victim. ⠀⠀⠀That's not what this is, right-?

⠀ ⠀⠀Saying someone lies and cheats and does whatever they can to get out, which ends the world, implies they're dangerous. Right? ⠀⠀⠀Not that I think she is. That's different.

𝗩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝗛𝘦𝘳𝘰 . ▾ @heroicvoice.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

⠀ ⠀⠀Dangerous is... relative, and dependent, I think. She's a Princess. Most don't want to end the world, I'd assume!

⠀ ⠀⠀See you..? I don't- think that's the case. He can see almost everything around here. ⠀⠀⠀﹙ as if hesitating in that thought, it re-emphasized. ﹚ ⠀⠀⠀... He'd usually say something like.. we're on a path, there's.. woods, and at the end of this path is a cabin with a "dangerous" Princess.

⠀ ⠀⠀Do you like it-? ⠀⠀⠀I don't want you agreeing to something like a name just to make me happy. That's not... ⠀⠀⠀That's never a good thing.

⠀ ⠀⠀I didn't either, frankly. ⠀⠀⠀From what I knew, it was me, the others with my body before I got separated, and... her. ⠀⠀⠀‹ after a brief moment of quiet, of thought... › ⠀⠀⠀There's usually a narrator. Do you need me to describe what's about for you?

⠀ ⠀⠀‹ nothing - not that the voice would particularly even want to resist. focusing on it only seems to give the mental image of a familiar, broken piece of glass. › ⠀⠀⠀I know the feeling. Don't worry, I'll be out of your hair as soon as I can! ⠀⠀⠀... What's your name?

𝗩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝗛𝘦𝘳𝘰 . ▾ @heroicvoice.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

⠀ ⠀⠀I'm ... well, I'm in your mind. I think. ⠀⠀⠀Usually, I'm wherever Her shadows fall. And I oftentimes have a body, but I think it's - sort of, elsewhere, at the moment. In the corner or so. ⠀⠀⠀It's too bright around here for it, I guess.
