[A keening whine escapes from Rose's pale lips as the storm of negative emotions threaten to douse her already fragile light. Her body seizes up again, seemingly choked from inside while she clings tighter to Dezel's hand with all the strength she can muster. Is this... what he'd been enduring the entire time? The secret he was so determined to keep?]
[She can scarcely blame him now; the emotions beating at her defenses aren't even hers and still she finds surrender a tempting option compared to the notion of them whittling away at her very existence day in and day out. Without a proper vessel, hellionization would have been a real possibility for anyone shouldering such a burden.]
[Silence falls over them once Dezel's apology comes across, a distant shining for her to follow, should she choose to. It assuages the resentment and hurt stirring just beneath the surface, allowing her breathing to steady as her slender form slumps in his arms. ...maybe this was the best outcome. Perhaps, in some small way, she had been able to bring Dezel some kind of peace. That wouldn't be so bad.]
...did you get it? Have your revenge? Did you kill her?
[Rose's resigned voice cuts through the darkness, closing in on the seraph's soul until it resounds right alongside him, a warmth embracing him.]
