Iām so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause Iāve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how āsnarledā and āeyes darkenedā and āeyes softenedā etc. was used in a book and likeā¦
Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply donāt take the time the understand the words as they are read?

not to continue to bring up hamlet in the context of dorian gray but the parallels are soooo good i mean come on
dorian - hamlet: self-centered, unhealthily fixated on life, death, youth and how all things we hold dear die the quickest, bad at being nice to women
basil - horatio: gay, in love with the titular character, watching the person he lives for devolve into madness and pain without being able to help
sybil vane and her family - ophelia, laertes, polonius: literally their scenes together in the beginning before jim goes to australia are perfect parallels for laertesā talking to ophelia before he goes to france. like, INSANELY similar. and then when sybil diesā¦
i also think itās interesting that, of all the plays sybil performs in, she never plays ophelia. i could be wrong, but im like 80% sure that dorian never mentions her in hamlet.
lord henry is an interesting case because you could read him as rosencrantz/guildenstern, given his friendship with both basil and dorian, and i donāt disagree with that reading at all. but he sews the first seeds of doubt in dorian, heās the reason dorian starts to freak out about the impermanence of youth. to me, he functions as the ghost. i mean, think of it:
basil/horatio meets henry/the ghost in the first scene, dorian/hamlet comes along and basil/horatio BEGS for him to be careful because he doesnāt want his best friend to suffer corruption. henry/ghost and dorian/hamlet have a private conversation which alters the latterās outlook and mental state, and when he returns, he isnāt the same.
iām so,,, iām so normal about this.
also sybilās suicide/not suicide. AGHHHHHHH

the heroine of rebecca is so fucking funny because she will just go off on a tangent where she imagines what will happen if she does something and it will be three pages of her going into the most DETAILED FUCKING DAYDREAM you have ever heard, complete with subplots and dialogue, meanwhile in the real world she has not moved or said anything she's just sitting on the floor catastrophizing while everyone around her is carrying on as normal because they haven't noticed she hasn't contributed to the conversation for the last 10 minutes. the guy she likes will tell her to her face "i am hanging out with you because i like spending time with you, i am not playing games or being nice or speaking with any double meaning" and she's like "sounds fake." she starts a small fire in a hotel room while her fiancƩ and employer are in the NEXT ROOM talking about her because she's convinced she'll never live up to her man's ex and she wants to take her mind off it. her best friend is a dog. she tries to climb out a window to avoid meeting her in-laws. girl is mentally unwell! 10/10 anxiety representation.

Risotto-š¤
Whatās their Love language?: Activity & PracticalĀ
How do they show it?:
Risotto doesnāt get much time to relax but when he does he wants to spend it with you. Heād show you by making an authentic Sicilian dish that you havenāt had before and watch some scary movies afterwards. If you get frightened you can always cling on to him and heāll wrap his big arms around you to keep you safe!Ā Heād also be interested in what youāre into. Especially if its something relaxing like painting or sculptingā¦Maybe even something physical like swimming.Ā Heād probably be indifferent to videogames. He enjoys watching you play them rather than playing them himself. He prefers story over gameplay, and watching you get frustrated and curse at the tv every time you make a mistake makes him chuckle so he's definitely enjoying himself.
He also likes to show his love through actions. He prefers to take care of the more challenging tasks like doing the oil change on your car, changing your tires, changing the light bulbs from the places you canāt reach, and fixing that leaky pipe. Heāll also take care of some other tasks, instead of you cooking heāll bring home take out, and make a nice bubble bath for you both to relax in afterwards. If youāre forgetful or have ADHD heāll remind you to take your medication and write down your daily tasks so you donāt forget anything. Heāll be sure to help you sort out your medication for each day in your pillbox too to help you remember. He has a perfect memory so youāll never have to worry if you do forget something. Heās always here for you. š¤
What love language do they like to receive the most?: Practical & PhysicalĀ
Whatās a good way to show them love?:
Heās always busy with somethingā¦whatās a better way to show your love than to take care of him? Make him dinner, run him a bath, do laundry , clean the house, do his paperwork, break up fights between the other guys, and maybe murder on his behalf? Do whatever this exhausted man needs. Just do it. Do it for him. Whatever you take off of his plate heāll greatly appreciate it! Also you can be assured that every act will be rewarded. Heās very grateful to have you and he's not afraid to express that.
This poor man has never been shown much love so you can bet heās pretty touch starved. But heās too aloof to go out of his way to ask for affection so its up to you to give him all the loving he needs. He doesnāt really care if the guys see very small bits of PDA like a quick kiss on the cheek or maybe a pet name or two. He really prefers his affection in private the most though. Take off his hat and brush your fingers through his silver hair and give his head a good scratch, he loves that. Rub his chest and give him lots of kisses, he canāt fight off his blush when you do that! He loves bedtime the most when youāre laying on top of him and he can feel your entire weight on him. It helps soothe him to sleep and puts him at peace even if for a moment in his chaotic life.š¤Ā
Whatās their least favorite form of affection?:Ā
emotional - Risotto is not a cold hearted person, he just has a hard time processing emotions. When Sorbet and Gelato died he swallowed his grief and tried to move on as if they didnāt exist. He doesnāt have an answer to how heās feeling right now and how to handle it. He wants to be there for you and to soothe your pain when it comes but he just doesnāt know the best way to comfort you...verbally that is. What he does know though is that he loves you with all his heart š¤Ā Ā Ā
Formaggio-š§”
Whatās their Love language?: Physical & AppreciationĀ
How do they show it?:
Heās very handsy when it comes to showing love. It goes beyond hugs and kisses. He loves pinching your cheeks, smacking your ass, squeezing your thighs, and heās a big groper. š³ He makes grabby hands and chases you with them laughing like a fucking nutjob. šĀ Ā
He doesn't care who sees. He lives for the PDA, he loves grossing everyone out and making them jealous that he snagged you and they didnāt. š¤Ā
Heās big on the praise and compliments. He wonāt give you one minute to doubt yourself because thatās how much he praises you. Did you dye your hair? Get a new piercing? You look hot!Ā You look a little tallerā¦did you get some new shoes? You look badass! Is that a new drawing you doinā? Youāre a good draw-er! Heās always has something nice to say! And donāt forget the pet names he throws on you-. If you didnāt know any better you could almost think he forgot what your name wasā¦but he knows you so well you know thatās not the truth! š§”
What love language do they like to receive the most?: physical & appreciationĀ
Whatās a good way to show them love?:
Give this man some sugar! Hug him, caress him, kiss him, make out with him, spank him, fucāyou know what he wants! š³ He donāt care if itās in public or private, he wants your lovinā. He loves it when you lay your head on his lap while you two watch tv. If you fall asleep on him heās gonna die from the cuteness. He loves the fact you feel safe enough around him enough to fall asleep near him. š§” he likes it too when you put your hands under his mesh shirt and scratch his chest, that will make him purr like a cat, and might make him start acting unwise š so give him scritches at your own risk
Illuso being the shithead he is, loves to make Maggio feel self conscious about his abilities and his stand so be sure to give him lots of encouraging words. Be his cheerleader! (Figuratively or literally he doesnāt mind either way š
) Let him know how smart he is when he makes a connection during a mission. Let him know how creative and strong his stand abilities are! Let him know how jealous and in awe you are of his skills. Seriously, where does he come up with some of these wild ideas??? Donāt forget to praise him when he does any chores. Heās no slob but he loves flinging his laundry around the place. š
Seeing him sort out the dirty clothes and put them in the washer is enough to make your heart melt. Heās thoughtful and helpful so remember to praise and thank him for it. š§” His biggest contribution at home is cooking and dishwashing so him doing extra work deserves extra kisses! šĀ
Whatās their least favorite form of affection?:
Intellectual - Formaggio respects your opinions on things but heās not someone interested in big philosophical discussion or debates. Donāt let his carefree nature fool you! Heās a very smart man but he just doesnāt like to take life so seriously. Heāll ask for your opinion if he isnāt sure about something but big conversations like the meaning of life or the study of _____ just isnāt in his interests. He much rather enjoy the moment of you two being together and enjoying activities with one another!Ā
Illuso-ā¤ļø
Whatās their Love language?: Financial & AppreciationĀ
How do they show it?:
Itās unknown whether he stole it or actually bought itā¦but isnāt it just the thought that counts? He always brings you things like jewels, perfume, makeup, jewelryā¦small things that remind him of you. Heās actually very thoughtful ā¤ļø he got you a shirt that reminded him of your favorite aesthetic the last time. He somehow knows the right size for you every time. He says he knows your body better than you do~ š flirty dork.Ā
He doesnāt seem like the kind of guy to give out compliments that arenāt backhanded, but with you they are very much genuine. Nothing goes unnoticed by him. Did you get a haircut? Change up your makeup? You look gorgeous!-but you always look great regardless.ā¤ļø Did you make dinner? If instagram existed in the early 2000s heād be taking pictures of the food you made and be asking for seconds! š Did you clean the house? Youāre getting a BIG thanks for that- he HATES washing the windows!Ā
What love language do they like to receive the most?:
Appreciation & PhysicalĀ
Whatās a good way to show them love?:
He doesnāt look like it but once you get to know him he clearly has a weak self esteem. Thatās why he puts others down to make himself feel better. ā¤ļøā𩹠But that isnāt working so show him some love by complimenting and praising him often. Tell him how gorgeous he is, take notice of how much effort he puts into his appearance! Let him know how helpful and strong his stand is. Heās secretly sensitive about MITM being physically weak. Praise him for whenever he decides to help you around the house. He may be smug and get pompous at times but he really loves your appreciation. He may not say it verbally but he will thank you for your sweet words. š
Show him your love! He loves seeing the others get jealous seeing you give him a peck on the cheek or if youāre tall enough on top of the head. š„° He doesnāt mind some light PDA in front of others but in private please ham it up. Kiss him a lot, snuggle him, smack his butt, whistle at him, be flirty! š¤ he really loves cuddling on the couch while watching trash reality tv. Cuddle on the couch with a big fluffy blanket while youāre braiding his hair is his favorite thing to do with you. He LIVES for that. š¤©
Whatās their least favorite form of affection?:Ā
activity - itās not that he doesnāt have interest in your hobbies but he thinks there should be some hobbies that should be spent alone. He thinks timeĀ alone makes the heart grow fonder. Andā¦he thinks you wouldnāt be very interested in his hobby of people watching⦠šĀ you of all people know how nosey he is! He has a very niche type of hobbiesā¦usually with him hiding in the mirror realm watching unsuspecting people doing embarrassing things. But heās more than willing to watch trash reality TV with you. š¤
Pesci-š
Whatās their Love language?: Emotional & Practical
How do they show it?:Ā
Heās a big empath whoās intune with your emotions. If anything is amiss he can feel it. If youāre nervous or sad heās here for you. If youāre happy heās happy! Heāll do anything to make you feel secure. He gives the biggest, warmest hugs.Ā
He likes to show love through his actions. He does all the household chores: he does the dishes, cleans the floors, dusts, cooks for you, make the bed, do the laundry, and anything else that comes to his mind. He doesnāt want you to worry about a single thing when you come home after a day of hard work. Be sure to show him plenty of gratitude!
What love language do they like to receive the most?:
Emotional & AppreciationĀ
Whatās a good way to show them love?:
Show him your support whenever he feels anxious or overwhelmed! The poor boy is always pushed to his limit under Prosciuttoās mentoring. Listen carefully to him if he needs to talk out his frustrations and validate his feelings. Let him know youāre here for him no matter what. š Give him a big hug and wipe away his tears when heās feeling extra vulnerable. Heās not a mammoni . Heās a strong big man š„ŗ
Another way to show him love is by showing appreciation often. Compliment him a lot and praise him for nearly everything he does. He has self confidence issues so itās up to you to uplift him! Tell him how strong he is, how good he looks today, how smart he is, and how helpful he is. š„°Ā praise him all the time! Be genuine with it and give him a big hug and kiss on the cheek with it. It will really cheer him up. š
Whatās their least favorite form of affection?:
Practical - this sweet boy appreciates your efforts but he doesnāt want you to overwork yourself! Let him take care of you. It makes him fret when he sees you exhausted and trying to wash the dishes. He worries about you overworking yourself and you end up becoming depressed, anxious, or coming down with a cold. If youāre overworked your immune system is at risk and he doesnāt want you risking your health!
Prosciutto-š
Whatās their Love language?: Financial & EmotionalĀ
How do they show it?:
Thereās nothing too expensive when it comes to you. Clothes, jewelry, food, and a house? He buys it all! He wonāt let you know how much it costs, he doesn't care how little the boss pays him. He has faith in himself and his teammates that theyāll take down the boss and get all that good money. You havenāt seen how bad heās going to spoil you once that happens ! He doesnāt want you feeling guilty for a single second for whatever he buys you. He believes itās his duty to care for you.Ā
He doesn't look like it but heās your biggest cheerleader. When youāre feeling down heāll be there to give you one million reasons why you shouldnāt feel bad and that your mental illness is lying to you, and that heās always here to put you back together when you break down. š„ŗ Heās always sincere when heās trying to uplift you. He does that sweet little forehead press and makes eye contact with you and caresses your cheek while giving you the biggest pep talk of your life. Heāll pep talk from all things small like psyching you up to make that phone call to make that drs appointment, encouraging you to show off your artwork and creative writing online, to training you up for a dangerous mission. Heās your rock and you can lean on him at any time! š
What love language do they like to receive the most?:
Practical & PhysicalĀ
Whatās a good way to show them love?:
Helping him around the house is a way to make him feel a deep sense of love. Having a home cooked meal, a clean suit, or freshly sweeped floors gives him peace. He doesnāt expect you to be a house spouse but having one of his chores taken care of after he comes home from a rough mission will give you one of his rare smiles. Heāll be mindful of your hard work by eating every single bite off his plate and help clean it off, take his dirty shoes off at the door so he doesnāt make the floor dirty, and take his dirty clothes to the hamper. Heāll always recognize your hard work and thank you for it!
Another easy way to make him happy is to give him a hug and kiss every time he comes and goes. He prefers to not partake in PDA for the most part unless you two are on a date of course but he gladly accepts physical affection. Sit in his lap while heās having a drink in his favorite chair and give him a big kiss. That will rile him up šĀ
Whatās their least favorite form of affection?:
Financial - Heās YOUR provider, you're NOT his provider. He wants to make that very clear. He understands the intention of your gesture and he appreciates the thoughtfulness but heās here to take care of you! He doesnāt want you to worry about a single thing. Not money, not resources, nothing. Heās very āold fashionedā that he feels the need to be the provider as the Dominant partner. Heās not worried about gender roles, he was just raised to believe that the greatest way for a dominant partner to show their love is to provide. And he loves you very deeply š
Melone-š
Whatās their Love language?: Physical & IntellectualĀ
How do they show it?:
Heās very affectionate and drapes himself over you often like a needy lap cat. Heās always wrapping his arms around you, heās even learned to type with one hand so he can communicate with BabyFace and still hold you. š
he never wants to let go! He even clings to you when youāre in the kitchen cooking not caring one bit that he might get burnt. Heās generous with the kisses too but he tries to be mindful of how much PDA you can tolerate. šĀ
Heās not as big of an info dumper as his icy teammate, but he loves to tell you about his progress with his stand BabyFace. Genetics are his biggest passion so heās going to tell you a lot about how BabyFace is doing when heās using them and educates you on each step. He will insist on you sitting right up next to him so you can see the screen and he can point around and show you everything! He gets so excited when he finds a bad match, making for a more lethal Junior. Heāll also talk about astrology and how blood types influence love compatibility. Heās so excited knowing that the 2 of you have compatible signs, it reaffirms his belief that you 2 were made for each other. š
What love language do they like to receive the most?:
Physical & ActivityĀ
Whatās a good way to show them love?:
Hugs and kisses of course! Heās pretty easy to read. He loves the skin to skin contact when it comes to cuddling after love making. Just simply brushing his hair out of his face while heās working just melts his heart! Heāll want you to come over and give him some more love but you gotta remind him not to get greedy~. And because you donāt want to gross out the other teammatesā¦unless thatās what you enjoy doing of course. š¤Ā
He wants to know everything about you, your date of birth, blood type, astrological sign, your culture, talents, and hobbies. And he wants you to know the same about him! Try to find as much things you two have in common and bond over it! He would enjoy playing video games, watching documentaries, electronics, and probably sci-fi shows. But donāt forget to show him youāre favorite things as well, even if they arenāt his cup of tea heāll still appreciate them because they are a part of you. šĀ
Whatās their least favorite form of affection?:
Financial - He loves the thoughtfulness of you trying to care for him but he rather have you save your money! The boss already gives out such little money you deserve to spend it on yourself! Thatās what he believes. He feels guilty enough that he canāt afford to give you everything you want so he doesnāt want you wasting your money on him. He does hope one day once the boss's identity is found out and is eliminated he will be able to spoil you rotten. š
Ghiaccio-š©µ
Whatās their Love language?:Ā Intellectual & ActivityĀ
How do they show it?:
Heās the king of info dumping. Hope you have your listening ears on! Whenever something makes him excited in a positive way or something that he disagrees with he MUST TELL you about it! Thatās a huge sign of affection right there! And itās something he can do in public so he doesnāt feel embarrassment when he does it. Itās a win win! Youāll know the difference between an info dump and a rant easily by the lack of yelling, and he talks a lot faster.Ā
Another way he shows affection is by showing interest in your hobbies! Depending on the activity he might want to try it. Heāll play video games with you, watch your favorite tv shows and be mindful of any spoilers, heāll try jigsaw puzzles, try some physical activities he doesnāt usually do like swimming and tennis. He has appreciation for art and your artwork. He may not do it himself because heās just so impatient but he likes to watch you do your work or do his own work along with you. š©µ
What love language do they like to receive the most?:
Emotional & IntellectualĀ
Whatās a good way to show them love?:Ā Ā
Be there for him emotionally! This guy doesnāt want to admit it but he clearly wears his heart on his sleeve! (But donāt tell him that or else heās gonna rant about that idiom š°) most of the time his emotions are masked by anger but he feels his emotions very strongly. If heās having an outburst, listen and talk to him and let him know itās okay. Validate his feelings but let him know that everything is okay. Explain why things are the way things are or the meaning of an idiom if something has him fuming. If he knows he probably will calm down and even if the explanation isnāt enough ,Ā having someone to listen to you is soothing. Let him know often that you love him because he fears his anger might make you drift off from him. š©µĀ
Another wonderful way to show him love is to do as he does-info dump! Tell him about your hobbies, favorite shows, video games, or your favorite animal. Heāll stop right in his tracks and listen to you enthusiastically info dump. He might not understand everything youāre saying but seeing you excited makes his heart melt. Heāll ask plenty of questions about your passion if he isnāt familiar so he can get to know more about you. He will see it as an opportunity to get closer and to have better future engaging conversations about your favorite topics š©µ
Whatās their least favorite form of affection?:
Physical- Ghiaccio is a touched starved man but a little touch goes a long way. Too much touch is overstimulating and makes him overwhelmed. Thereās a time and place for a loving embrace- like intimate time and sleep time. If youāre feeling down and need a hug or kiss just ask and heāll give it! Heās mostly just uncomfortable with the unexpected touches. Ask permission and 9 times out of 10 heāll say yesā¦in private of course. But heās no hypocrite, he asks for your permission too. Especially when it comes to intimacy. š©µ

Yuri Katsuki Relationship Headcanons
A/N: It is exam week, I'm a mess, I'm starved of Yuri Katsuki X reader content, enjoy. I was tempted to make it angst all the way, but I stopped because Yuri deserves all love and happiness there is.
Genre: Romantic Headcanons, fluff, a dash of angst
Warning: A lot of mental turmoil, self-esteem issues
~ Ahh, Yuri. He is a tangle of emotions and nerves that he has the tendancy to be avoidant to an extreme. Has multiple issues concerning his self-steen, self-worth and with a dash of maybeā just maybeā a dash of Imposter Syndrome... So yes, it's not your job to fix him, but you're certainly there to hold his hands as he goes through it.
~ Your utmost support matters to him, and God knows what he would do if you would be disappointed in him... Which he doesn't doubt, he thinks he is an absolute failure with nothing to prove (See what I am talking about?). Assure him that through his success and failures, you support him and you love him. You don't see him a less of himself because failures does not define him.
~ He is a sensitive soul, but know that you don't have to tread carefully as if he were a tsunami waiting to crash ashore, but be incredibly mindful. He understands that sometimes there are emotions that are difficult to understand and difficult to respond to, what matters is that you're there for him.
~ He is an incredible boyfriend! He is extremely understanding and is more than willing to lend you anything! A shoulder to cry on, tissues, cuddles, anything you need to make you feel better!
~ If you too suffer from similar issues such as he (Notably the self-esteem issues), he will use your words the way you comfort him. He will reassure you and god almighty here comes to waterworks, he will cry at the fact that someone like you can't see your worth and will begin to list off every single goddamn thing that defines you as a person and how wonderful of a person you are despite the fuck ups.
~ Okay let's take a break from angst; Victor is either stealing Yuri away from you. It's a fun little banter, he means no harm... But sometimes you're starting to think he actually meant it when he said he's stealing Yuri away from you.
~ He is very shy with initiating public display of affection, but he finds comfort in holding your hand. But in private, he is one clingy bastard. There, he is more of a cheeky tease if he wants to. If you're the type of do public display of affection, he would redden to a degree and shyly cover his face.
~ His kisses are hesitant. Sometimes he would chicken out from kissing your lips and land his kiss on your cheek instead. But if he is feeling particularly bold, whether in public or private, he will kiss you like it's the end of the world, like it's only the two of you in the room. He would be less tentative, more confident, more passionate (Eros movement right there) and will live to see that certain look of shock in your face because your shy little Yuri became so seductive all the sudden
~ Dates consists of just being in each others company, he doesn't care where you are but as long as you're there with him, he is happy... So imagine competitions, with him on the center of the rink and you seated in the bleachers cheering him on, it won't take him too long to spot you. Then and there, all the jitters of performing would fade a little knowing you're there for him, screaming his name and being there for him.
~ You are the source of his solace. Just, everything about you. And it would kill him to see you go. You matter to him the most, perhaps matter more than his dreams of skating on the same ice as his idol Victor Nikiforov. I'm not particularly shock, nor his friends and family wouldn't be shock if he wanted to marry you.

Good Traits Gone Bad
Exploring good traits gone bad in a novel can add depth and complexity to your characters. Here are a few examples of good traits that can take a negative turn:
1. Empathy turning into manipulation: A character with a strong sense of empathy may use it to manipulate others' emotions and gain an advantage.
2. Confidence becoming arrogance: Excessive confidence can lead to arrogance, where a character belittles others and dismisses their opinions.
3. Ambition turning into obsession: A character's ambition can transform into an unhealthy obsession, causing them to prioritize success at any cost, including sacrificing relationships and moral values.
4. Loyalty becoming blind devotion: Initially loyal, a character may become blindly devoted to a cause or person, disregarding their own well-being and critical thinking.
5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.
6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.
7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.
8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.
9. Altruism becoming self-neglect: A character's selflessness may lead to neglecting their own needs and well-being, to the point of self-sacrifice and burnout.
10. Honesty becoming brutal bluntness: A character's commitment to honesty can turn into brutal bluntness, hurting others with harsh and tactless remarks.
These examples demonstrate how even admirable traits can have negative consequences when taken to extremes or used improperly. By exploring the complexities of these traits, you can create compelling and multi-dimensional characters in your novel.
Happy writing!

Heres that really unpolished angst I promised in the tags of my last post
[Transcript under cut]










Transcript:
Prismo, trapped in the cube on the ground of the time room: I wish we still talkedā¦
Scarab, turning his head: ā¦pardon?
Prismo, as Scarab approaches: I just!- I meant.- The day you left! T-that big fight we head.
Prismo cont. as Scarab picks him up: It was the last time I ever saw you.
Prismo as Scarab leers at him in his hand: No letters, no calls, you were just⦠gone. Without a word.
Prismo through Scarabās point of view: I never got to say sorry or goodbye. We never got the chance to just⦠talk things out. And now youāre suddenly back.
Prismo cont. as we look at Scarab through his point of view: And you hate me. And youāre using every ounce of energy to destroy the only thing thats ever been mine. And I donāt understand whyā¦
Outer view of Scarab staring at Prismo, both silent
Scarab holds Prismo over the time roomās hot-tub as he speaks: You always take everything personally, Prismo. Our past is over.
Prismo falling into the water as Scarab speaks out of view: Iām just doing my job.
