”Well? What now?"

That voice was sharp, cutting, and unmistakable. You froze, your body trembling. Cotelydon. Your evil alter.

You tell him to leave you alone. She doesn’t listen.

”Leave you alone?" Cotyledon’s laugh was dark, cruel. ”You think you can just wish me away? After everything you’ve done?"

"Good?" The word was venom in Cotyledon’s mouth. “You’re delusional. That wasn’t kindness; that was desperation. You gave so much because you wanted them to like you, to stay. You didn’t do it for them. You did it for you."

You tell him you just wanted to help.

"You wanted to feel good. To shut me up for a while. But I’m still here, Leafy. I’ll always be here. And you’ll always be the same: selfish, needy, pathetic."
