♰ 018: [Video] - [Shadow Thanatos]

[mem_more_rakke]

[Thanatos is standing with his back to the camera but it is clearly him in the frame, the same tall dark presence as ever before. The long rope braid hanging down his back is bloodstained and soaked with rain as are the robes he wears. In his hand, though only the keened eyed would spot it, is a clump of ashen-pink hair

[ This ... is shocking. He'd seen many Shadows-and been this Shadow for as long as he could remember-but this wasn't the same. He thought, briefly, of Persona, but brings himself back to reality quickly. ]

Thanatos-san ... did something happen? Do you really feel that way?

I feel it most cruelly, that I have denied the truth about myself to all of you. You all deserve to know the nature of the man I am, and it does not matter how sorry, nor how guilty I remain.

I am decay.

[ Ryoji speaks gently, carefully. ]

What do you mean?

What I mean boy, is that Thanatos has been, and so will always be, an evil man. The things he, no I have done, they will not be forgotten.

It is an insult to memory to do so, and in that he is also a criminal.

[ The one of his voice doesn't change. ]

I don't think anyone can be completely evil. We can do things we regret, but there are other parts to it too. We can be hurt, scared, or in pain-sometimes, we can think we're the only people in the world, but I don't know about "evil."

What makes you think that you're evil? What kind of things have you done?

Should I do them to you do you can see first hand, little boy?

[eulogium]

I don't mean to provoke you, I just want to understand.

I could tear you open, I could love you until you bleed. I could cut our your heart and hold it in my hands like a drowned butterfly. Just like I did to him. Then you could see, then you could feel the man I truly am.

[ his voice is gentle, and the concerned look never flickers from his face. ]

Why would you do that?

[Video]

[mem_more_rakke]

[Shadow does not like you, you know something.] Because I want to, damn it.

[Video]

[eulogium]

You want to hurt me?

[ nevertheless, he continues speaking gently, without accusation. ]

Of course!
