#after a few minutes gortash basically tells her to fuck off in fancy politician speak without even looking at her. waves his hands like you

shadowheart sticks with and tries to be there for zeke for quite a while during his old/new obsession with gortash in act 3, but i think deep down she knows that she lost him to gortash’s iron grip immediately on the evening after the coronation festivities—when gortash and zeke are having their first chess game after zeke’s disappearance. she tries to convince herself that the zeke she came to love is still there, but the absolute terror mixed with insane reverence and bloodlust in zeke’s flushed and utterly focused face tell her that the man she thought she loved was merely an incomplete shell of himself.
