Rerir: “…Don’t come any closer.” Rerir: “Do you hear me?! DON’T COME ANY CLOSER!” (sound of chains being pulled, metal screaming. His breathing is heavy, ragged, mixed with a growl that isn’t entirely human) Rerir: “Ha… ha… hah… damn… that moon…” Rerir: “Every time that damned light touches me… my body is torn from the inside.” (his skin cracks with dark red abyssal veins, wounds glowing like embers forced to breathe) Rerir: “This abyss… is burning me… tearing at my mind…” Rerir: “I can hear it… my bones are screaming.” (low growl emerges, fangs begin to show, his eyes flash ferociously) Rerir: “Go away… before I lose what remains of my name.” (chains are pulled hard, his neck reddens, old wounds reopen) Rerir: “ARGH—!!” Rerir: “You think I wanted to be like this?!” (a moment of silence, only the sound of ragged breathing and the cracking walls) Rerir: “I… I still remember you.” Rerir: “That’s what hurts the most.” (sound of flesh shifting, bones changing. The shadow of a beast slowly swallowing his body) Rerir: “If I attack…” Rerir: “…bind me tighter.” Rerir: “If I bite—” Rerir: “…don’t let go of these chains.” (growling turns into a muffled roar, emotions a mix of anger, fear, and pleading) Rerir: “Because if I were free…” (silence. Then, his voice breaks, barely audible) Rerir: “…I might kill the only thing that still keeps me human.”
