- Oh no, she's gonna realize what she's done, even if she doesn't want to.
- Right after the breakup, Slash is in a really bad spot. To get over it, she starts
- distancing herself from Anarki every way she can. After all, it's his fault that
- she's stuck in the arena, and he was the one who convinced her that her nightmares
- were somehow worth chasing. He's an awful person, and she can't believe she ever
- listened to him.
- As time goes on, this turns into blaming Anarki for all the bad things she's done,
- and convincing herself that before he came around, she was doing alright. She was
- finally getting to grips with the visions inside her head (so she thinks), she was
- fixing herself up, and if Anarki hadn't come around and spun his tall tale, it
- would've worked out. It's all his fault. All the corpses along the way? All the
- robberies, all the researchers silenced? That was him. He had the gun. He convinced
- her that it was justified. If she had her way, they'd still be alive.
- This is a complete lie that she's trying her hardest to believe. The old ones
- notice this, and decide to take advantage of the situation.
- One day, Slash starts hearing a voice in her head - her own, disgusted at how
- blatantly she's lying to herself, trying to convince herself she's somehow a
- good person. It starts tearing her apart for her past, grinding her into the
- dirt for every single last bad thing Slash has done, beating it into her head
- that it's all her fault. Not Anarki's. Her's. She's worthless, she's bottom of
- the barrel filth, the world would've been better without her, and she will never
- get the chance to forget it.
- At first, Slash objects to this, telling the voice that it's wrong about everything
- (and it is lying to some extent, to make it hurt more). But the voice just keeps
- going, beating her sins into her head, until eventually her will is completely
- broken and all she can do is lie on the ground, curled up and weeping, bergging
- the voice to stop.
- And as much as I'd like to see a happy ending, the story probably ends here.
- Either she shuts off her emotions entirely and becomes the perfect arena combatant,
- or gets so busted up that she can't muster the will to fight anymore, and is left
- to wander the Dreamlands forever, with only her guilt and madness to keep her company.
