[She grinds her teeth. All she wants to do is sink her claws (her fingers) into Nero, to rip her apart with her fangs (her teeth, she's not a monster, but she is, and she wants to be, right now). She hates herself, but right now, her burning fury is enough that she wants nothing more than her other eight tails to wipe Nero from the Earth... To wipe Nero from the Throne of Heroes. To remove this obstacle. To remove this one obstacle that stops her from obtaining Hakuno's love...
(And really, it burns her because it's true.)
Her fury collapses in on itself, and somewhere in the back of the link, so deep even Tamamo isn't consciously aware of it, a sun shines. The sun burns, scorches, untouched and alone in the sky, eternal. And really, what is a human life... human love, compared to the sun?]
It is as you say. I cannot understand. But most of all, I cannot understand you You, who ruled. You, who were loved. You, who had everything! The love of your people, the blessings of your gods, you who never struggled for anything! How could you possibly understand!
[When she thinks about it, she can still feel them. The arrows that pierced her body. The enchanted arrow that struck her thigh, so she couldn't run. And the final one in her neck.]
Yet your greed knows no bounds, and even that isn't enough to satisfy you! You pushed me off! When finally, I had managed some meager happiness, even if I was forced to share it... You tried to take her away from me!
[This isn't even about the barb about her love anymore. This is resentment that has built up for ages, for the month since their war started, for the hundreds of cycles with Twice, for the thousand years since her death, all rushing out at this convenient target. The facade cracked, just a bit, and now everything is rushing out.]
IT IS INTENSE BUT I AM LOVING THIS A LOT i am also sorry
