-------------------------------- Meg --------------------------------

Min 2 Heat

Meg: *Tsch*. I can't believe it. You signed the Pact of Punishment. Have you completely lost your mind? Or just trying to insult me?
Zag: Well if you're going to be so rude about it, maybe a little of each? Though, what do you even care which pacts I sign or don't?
Meg: I'm not an idiot. I see what you're doing. You want to be punished? Then, come on.


Min 2 Heat (Alt Dialogue, Hell Mode)

Meg: *Tsch*. You really volunteered into a Pact of Punishment? You can't back out of it, now. You're even more of a fool than I already thought.
Zag: Maybe I just like a challenge, ever thought of that? Besides, what do you even care which pacts I sign or don't?
Meg: You're right. I *don't* care. You want to be punished? Then, come on.


Min Forced Overtime

Meg: This should be over pretty quickly, I think, Zag. Never took you for the Forced Overtime type. That's not a Pact condition for the faint of heart.
Zag: You wound me, Meg! You know I like to barge into situations thoughtlessly and recklessly, and sort everything out later. Forced Overtime's the perfect fit!
Meg: *Ahh*, well, when you put it that way. Look, don't go saying I didn't warn you.


Min 4 Heat

Meg: I have been longing for a fairer fight with you. Maybe that's why you signed the Pact? To pity me?
Zag: I have my reasons. Pitying you isn't one of them. Although I guess you don't believe me, do you?
Meg: If it's punishment you want, how am I to say no?


Min 10 Heat (Alt of 4, Hell mode)

Meg: You know I can hit even harder than usual with the Pact of Punishment working against you. Maybe that's why you signed it? To pity me?
Zag: I have my reasons. Pitying you isn't one of them. Although I guess you don't believe me, do you?
Meg: No, I don't think I do. Come on, then, and let's see where all your pity gets you.


Min 25 Heat

Meg: What have you done with the Pact, Zagreus? This isn't even Asphodel, and I can barely tolerate the heat. Do you really want to die this terribly?
Zag: Appreciate all the concern, but I just thought I'd live a little, Meg. You ought to try it for yourself, sometime!
Meg: You ought to try watching your mouth. You want a swift and painful death, you'll have one momentarily.


-------------------------------- Asterius --------------------------------

Min 25 Heat

Asterius: This heat... it reminds me of when I was young. Living in darkness. Learning to fight. To kill.
Zag: I suppose you're about to put that learning to practice in another moment here?
Asterius: I am. The heat fills me with strength. Let's see if it has any effect on you.


-------------------------------- Hades --------------------------------

Min 25 Heat

Hades: It is a testament to the awful might of Demeter that, even with the surge of heat created by the Pact of Punishment you toy with recklessly, this place remains a frozen waste.
Zag: The Pact did make the road here a little more fraught than usual. But if it couldn't stop me, I can't imagine it could stop Demeter.
Hades: Forget her, and the blasted Pact. I'll stop you, myself.
