"Do I need to change?"

"What if I'm the monster?"

"What if I'm the problem that's been hiding all along?"

"If I became the monster, and threw that guilt away, would that make us stronger?"

"So what if I'm the monster lurking deep below?"

"If I gotta drop another infant from a wall in an instant so we all don't die, then I'll become the monster."

"I'll become the monster."

they giggle again, stepping close to their new friend, "i trust i don't need to introduce myself, and i'll skip to asking you one little question." they shift through their pockets, pulling a pouch from it. "would you like a taste of a little power? wouldn't you like to use more than words?"

"well? i'm waiting."
