#at times it's kind of a wonder why he didn't go full Supreme Leader on the other routes where Billy isn't here with his mindset

Re : about Claude,

I wanted to double check his Cyril B support, since it’s apparently the one where he grows but I found something odd :

Don't know... With your status, you could smack me to the ground and walk right over me.

Cyril thinks Claude could use his privilege card and roll over poor Cyril (which is kind of not helped by Claude saying in their last convo “So cold! Think about who you're talking to” when Cyril told him to fig off)

I...guess? But I wouldn't. We're friends.

Claude doesn’t refute Cyril’s assumption, but says he wouldn’t roll over him since they are friends.

I thought you were the kind of guy who'd smack down just about anybody if you needed to.

Cyril spoils Randolph’s fate in Nopes, saying Claude is the kind of person who would roll over anyone if he “needs to”, friend, ally or not.

You really are a stubborn one. All right, then. I'll tell you.

Interesting to note Claude has his sad portrait, but again, doesn’t refute Cyril’s assesment...

With this exchange (coupled with the last line i linked to), Claude doesn’t deny that with his status, he could or would roll over randoms if “needed”.

But then, Claude drops his bomb :

I swore I'd change this world so that those without status are no longer oppressed.

Which is at odds with his previous behaviour, are we supposed to think he wouldn’t mind using his status to roll over randoms, but he wants to make a world where said randoms are “no longer oppressed” (by people who have a status, like him)?

Maybe I’m parasited with Nopes, but with this supports Claude more or less confesses he would use whatever means needed to reach his goals, even if those means are contrary to said goal (like a certain someone) -

And yet, despite his non-admissions, Claude doesn’t body Cyril out of the way to sneak in the Holy Tomb. For whatever reason (is it because Cyril is Almyran, or because he is a member of his army, or a genuine “friend”?) Claude reveals part of his dream, learns a bit more about Rhea and leaves.

(or maybe he does later! jk, given his surprise when Rhea infodumps, we know he didn’t sneak in the holy tomb)

I still find this support very telling about his relationship with Cyril (which only ends at B!) despite what some people think, those two are not very close.

"You are all useless!" shouted Rey and the people in the room shivered in fear. " A bunch of Incompetents that couldn't just take down a few X-Wings!"

"It was an ambush, Supreme Leader" whined a man in a commander uniform. Rey eyed the man as he swallowed hard as he saw her walking closer to him, a grin on her face.

"An ambush" she said "Commander, you even know what kind of weapons you had in that ship?"

The man nervously looked at the ground.

"The target was easy, you had the right tools" her tone begun to grow with anger with every passing second "And you got beaten by handful of dirty rebels?!"

"They were waiting for us, Supreme Leader" said a woman as she stood up her chair "It was like they knew we were coming, they attacked before we could do something, destroyed the central cannon"

"Then someone told them” said Rey with her blood boiling from the rage. “What is the necessary range to know how the ship works?” Asked Rey and the woman answered almost immediately.

"No need. The blaster is under the ship, aside of the usual ones for protection on the upper part that is the only visible weapon. Would be easy to know if they saw the previous attack"

"Fine. Now I need to know how did they know about Endor.” Rey said walking back to the head of the table, analysing every face from the scared commander to the woman, Rey's gaze stopped on a red haired general that sat confident with a light smirk on his face.

"General Hux" raised her voice again "You're very quiet. Do you happen to know something about this?"

His smirk grew bigger and he prepared himself to speak to his boss.

"Truth to be told, I do, Supreme Leader" he said "I was looking at the database and I noticed a quite interesting message. A transmission that contains the name of the target and also the day of it" he spoke pride of his work knowing he would win not only the trust but the respect of the lady in charge.

"Where the transmission was sent from?"

"It was sent from a TIE fighter ship, exactly the one your apprentice stole in her pathetic escape attend." Rey tensed by the sound of his words, remembering events after that, how much had Y/N hurt her and now she had betrayed her one more time. "Without intentions to blame, Supreme Leader, your apprentice seems to be a spy for the Resistance”

So Y/N had done it, not only tried to run away but you sent a message to them, you were still with them even when they kicked you out and that fact made the suffer in Rey’s body grow stronger.

“I’ll take care of her” Rey said as calm as she could.

“I suggest you get rid of that scum before she compromise another mission. After all she’s nothing more than a disgusting rebel” Continued Hux without thinking his words, he was so confident of himself in those moments. The next thing Hux saw was a red light humming very close to his neck.

"Watch your mouth, General Hux" growled Rey holding her lightsaber dangerously close to his skin. Her face now full of a new threatening expression. No one had the right to insult you- "She's still my apprentice and I won't allow you to talk about her like that"

"But, Supreme Leader, she's a traitor and…"

"She's under my protection, General Hux" Rey said before turning off her saber "And perhaps she was more useful than any of you” she said as the ideas on her mind worked out. Smiling for herself she thought of a new and brilliant plan.

“I don’t understand, Supreme Leader” said Hux now carefully.

“Y/N sent a message and the Resistance showed up. Which means they trust her and that General Hux, is what we are going to use on our favor.”

*******

A few days passed since the last time you talked to Rey, or at least you thought so, it was difficult to know when was day or night, only the helmet of stormtroopers when they brought you some food let you knew the world outside the dark room kept going.

It had passed at least a week. You hadn’t much to do trapped inside those black walls allowing your brain to overthink every word you had told Rey, those words hunted you all nights as well as the feeling of her hand around your neck when she tried to killed you. And the kiss, that sweet and yet confusing that wouldn’t just let you sleep.

Shifting your body in the small bed you stared at the ceiling for longer than you could remember, overwhelmed by your thoughts. A part of you made you think on the Resistance, you hoped they were okay and for the good of them and Endor they had fight the First Order. You wondered who had been in that mission, if some of your friend got hurt… or if they were even alive.

Shaking your head you tried to focus yourself on the lights in the ceiling, how the white of them was a whole difference compared to the dark walls. Your mind started to drag you to the past once again as you remembered the soft smile Rey used to have, back in the days at Resistance.

It was sunny that day as Rey and you wandering over a small planet in search of repairs for the Falcon in a tiny market in the middle of the forest. By the corner of your eyes you caught Rey smiling fascinated with all the colors of the market and the trees above her head.

“Everything good?” you asked her with a chuckle.

“I’m glad you’re enjoying the work” you smiled and then nodded to a market stall that you knew had the needed pieces. “This way”

“Yeah” she told you focusing her eyes now on you “I never stop surprising myself”

She followed you close, still admiring the place. You loved how much her eyes shimmered when she found something new for her and you get it, she used to live in a planet with nothing but sand in it, the rest of the world was completely new for her. And as you were talking with the merchant she was amazed by a dry flower they sell in the next tent.

“You like it?” you said.

“There’s no flowers in Jakku, I bought some but eventually they dried out.” she said with authentic hope in her words. “Do you have everything?” she then said looking at the metallic pieces in your arms as she offered a hand with the stuff.

“Yup” you said leading the way back to the ship. Close to the your ship your gaze focused on some wild flowers growing between the trees and couldn’t help but smile thinking about the way Rey loved flowers, so you picked up some for her, that was already inside the big ship getting everything ready to fly.

She greeted you with a soft smile when you entered to the ship.

“Here” you said handing her the soft purple flowers that immediately made her smile grew bigger with excitement.

“Why?” she said taking the flower closer to her nose so she could smell the delicate fragrance of them.

“I just thought you may like them” you said winking.

“I love them” she said pulling you into a tight hug “Thank you, Y/N” her face amazed by the purple flowers was one of your favorites memories, just to see Rey as happy made your heart melt so much.

The nostalgic was taking over your body again, the Rey from your memories didn’t exist anymore. Running a hand through your face and hair you sat at the end of the bed trying without success to avoid overthinking.

The door suddenly opened, revealing the face of the girl you were thinking of moments ago, but it wasn’t her anymore, the girl standing at the door frame with the dark clothes and the cold glance was a total different person.

You looked at her, unsure of what to say, scared of even speak while Rey just watched you with a wicked grin on her lips.

“Come on” she said nodding outside “I want to show you something, Y/N” she said, her voice made a shiver run down your spine, this was not good you could already tell by the way she was looking at you, you didn’t even know if you would make it alive this time.

You obeyed without pronouncing a word, avoiding her eyes and her closeness as much as you could, feeling the tension between the both of you. She guided you through the endless corridors of the castle until you reached the main hangar where a ship was already waiting for you.

“General Hux” she said as you arrived. You met the man’s eyes, he seemed confident but you could tell he was a little scared by the way he stayed firm in his usual position with his hands crossed in his back. “We’re ready. Take off”

“Immediately, Supreme Leader” he said before leaving the room. You swallowed thickly as there was just Rey and you again, alone. Nervous of making a sudden move you kept looking at the ground but still, you could felt her eyes focused on you.

“This will be so fun, Y/N” you heard her say which only made goosebumps form all over your skin.

The ride was short, gladly, and you didn’t need to talk. But that was driving you slowly crazy, it was her silence, her devilish grin, how everything seemed to be oddly calculated. Just the whole thing made your stomach dropped.

And then the big First Order's ship stopped in front of a planet you haven't seen in a long time, a planet you left hoping to save someday. You homeworld.

"Rey, what are you doing?* You finally asked in panic.

"Just watch, Y/N" she said and then she pushed a button in the console in front of her. "At my signal" she said through a speaker making you feel so much fear to

think what was she going to do, this ship had a huge weapon, you had seen it in action. This ship was made to destroy planets and now she was going to destroy yours.

"Rey" you called out only eliciting a smile in Rey's face "Stop it!!"

"Three" she said, you ran next to her to look at her in the eyes.

"Stop it, please" you told her as you felt your voice started to crack. You didn't understand why she had chosen your planet, only to hurt you but why?

"Two"

That was your old home, the place where you grew up, where you learned to fix ships. And there was a lot of people you knew, good people dedicated mostly to the crop.

"Rey!" You yelled finally attracting her gaze to lay on you. "Please, I'm begging you, don't do this. I'll do whatever you want, just don't shot" you said feeling how the tears started to pool in your eyes. She stopped for a moment, scanning your face before she spoke.

"One"

A powerful red blaster came out of the ship hitting your planet for just some seconds before it all started to break apart and finally exploited.

You screamed in pain as burning tears blurred your vision, an indescribable ache spread from your chest and then your whole body, unable to think as the ashes your planet floated in the space.

“What the fuck have you done?!” you turned to see Rey, the tears never stop flowing down your cheeks.

“What needed to be done, Y/N” she said calmly. Was she serious? she had just destroyed another planet because it had to be done?

“Why?!!” you cried out, collecting all your forces to approached her. “WHY?!” you screamed very close to her. Fastly she grabbed your neck, almost too fast making your cough a bit, she dragged you closer to her face.

“This are the consequences of your actions, Y/N” she hissed “And I’m not talking about your pitiful escape. This is about your little message to the Resistance” she said and you felt how she tighten the grip on your neck as a wave of pain hitted your body with her words. So she had found out and by the anger of hers, they had received the transmission, therefore Endor was still existing. A whole planet saved but at what cost? Another one turned into nothing more than dust leaving an empty space in the galaxy.

Rey let go of you and you gasped for air but before you could do something she grabbed your back and pushed you closer to the big window and used her free hand to force you turn your head to see the ashes of the planet you grew up.

“Look at it!" she growled “You did this, Y/N. All the millions of lifes lie on your hands now, they die because of you!!” she said enraged.

She thrown you to the ground as if you were nothing, didn't even feel the pain as your body met the surface it was nothing compared with all the agony you were feeling inside you.

"Now you better think before trying to do something as stupid as that" you heard her said, slowly you looked over your shoulder to met her glance once again.

"I hate…" a gasp fell from your lips and stopped you from ending the sentence. Your blood frozen by the sight of her face darken by fury but the most alarming thing about her were her eyes. Yellow eyes that burned with genuine rage.

"Say it" she say "Say you hate me"

You kept staring at her eyes unable to form proper words.

"Don't be afraid, say it" she repeated as you cried silently. "I know the way you're feeling, the suffer you're going through. This anger your feeling, let it guide you, Y/N"

"Rey…" you finally managed to raise your shaking voice "This is not you"

"You're wrong, this is the real me" she gave you a wicked smile. To your memory came back her soft smile holding the flowers, just an instant but then you saw reality, her figure standing tall covered in a black version of her usual clothes, a long cape covering most of if and her dark expression that seemed to looked even more evil. The Rey you knew, that sweet girl from Jakku was gone, leaving a monster with yellow eyes behind. Any hope of getting her back was gone.
