First off: this is so good omg thank you so much this is so awesome and tragic and perfect.
And in spite of everything, that song is still warm. Still comforting to me. Because when they sang lullabies, nothing hurt. Oh Margaret … *cries already*
They promised it wouldn’t hurt. That my soul would be well now. That it was all for the best. That I would live forever and serve It. I don’t want to live forever. Living forever hurts more than death. I remember begging. “Don’t make me live forever. Don’t make me. Let me go. Let me live like all the other girls, or let me die quickly, without pain. Don’t make me see more horrible people like you.” They didn’t listen. They didn’t see the darkness building inside of me. Oh … oh god …
No. I was meant for him. I was meant to help him save the world, in spite of what they said. I have found a great purpose. *cries*
So they led me to the meeting, dressed in white. They lifted me to the platform. They tied me down. They told me to scream as much as I wanted, to call It into the world. Oh god … that is so wrong …
I hated them so much. And I knew what to do when they were done. They had said that I would be the weapon to kill their enemies. They didn’t realize that a weapon can kill anyone. *shudders* Oh god …
In my mind, I am far older than Linkara. He’s seen a lot, but not enough. He’s still strong and optimistic. He knows that bad things happen, but he still believes people are basically good. He still has the power to forgive people. And he’s right. It took me a long time to admit it, but he is right. People are good. The world is good. I just saw the bad part for most of my life without realizing it. THIS! I love their partnership, this is exactly what I was hoping for
I did not regret killing them. I did not care when they screamed and begged their dark god to save them. It wasn’t coming. All they had was me. *shudders* Oh, Margaret ...

I'm sorry for making you cry for most of the points.
I love Linkara and Margaret as partners. I think they have a great dynamic and I wanted to explore that a bit more.
