[The feed crackles on and we have a Polly, the wall of a jail cell behind her. Just kind of. Staring. Out at you.]

[Her expression is very serious.]

[She looks away, fidgeting, then back at you, mouth half open as if she's on the verge of SAYING SOMETHING and it's VERY IMPORTANT[Aaaannnnnnd looks away again, somewhere between being angry with

Well... I guess you just try? We all kinda know you weren't yourself.

Re: [Video]

[curious_copycat]

But I was... I mean, that was in me...

Re: [Video]

[stompyerface]

Sure, it was part of ya. But that's the kind of thing everybody works hard to suppress. Everybody has sides of them that they're not proud of.

[Hellooooo major plot point of P4.]

[She really should play that game, someday. >_>]

[She tries for a smile.]

Thanks.

I feel like I should've been able to control it... Or fight off those men, I guess...

[Video, whoops~]

[be_my_servant]

[It was her.]

[It was that woman responsible for all of this. The woman that put those things in her head.]

[Why wasn't she dead?!]

[At the video, her eyes sharped, taking on a stronger crimson hue that usual. Remilia didn't realize it, but her Guide had entered its automatic response mode, and she was too busy smoldering in a rapidly growing hate to notice.]

[Why wasn't she dead?!]

[The girl quails visibly under that gaze, then steels herself. Whatever Remi says or does, she pretty much figures she deserves it... She still doesn't know that it was her spear...]

Re: [Video, whoops~] 2/2

[curious_copycat]

I'm sorry for what I did to you... The monsters. And the needle....

... Are you... Are you alright, now...?

[Most of the people she'd attacked or injected were, by now, but...]

[Yeah, that glare definitely doesn't look "alright" by any definition of the word...]

Re: [Video, whoops~]

[be_my_servant]

[Your words fall on deaf ears, Polly.]

[Why isn't she dead?]

[Why isn't she dead?!]

[Why isn't she dead?!]

[Why...?!]

[It was no surprise when Remilia voiced the only thought coursing through her mind.]

Why aren't you dead?!

[Someone's bitter.]

[apathetic_seal]

I would say you just do.

Considering the circumstances, I'd forgive you, at least.

...And I guess I have to apologize for, well, both those fights.

[curious_copycat]

... No, don't apologize for that.

I should be thanking you for trying to stop me!

[apathetic_seal]

I really wasn't trying to stop you the first time... I was just trying to run.

But still, I forgive you. You really weren't yourself for that time, and what made you like that wasn't at all your fault.

[curious_copycat]

[Little... wince there. Killing sprees always make for awkward conversation.]

I'm sorry.

And thank you.

[Ran Fan missed the event but she's here to nip this in the bud]

It was not your fault, Polly.

Re: video

[curious_copycat]

[She was there in spirit. ;-)]

But I hurt so many people...!

Re: video

[urlefthandgrl]

I know they understand. You did not mean to do it.

Re: video

[curious_copycat]

But part of me did! Part of me meant all of it!

[pattan]

You say 'I'm sorry.'

And then we say 'I'm glad you came back.'

aldkf

[curious_copycat]

[Taking that advice right then and there.]

Shinpachi, I'm so sorry...!

8)))))

[pattan]

And...I'm glad you came back.

I knew you would.

[curious_copycat]

Are you alright? Is Lien...?
