No rest for the unfortunate.

W-wait! You said that I would never have to experience the Purge! That no version of me would ever have to experience the Purge. Why are you changing your mind about that now?! I mean, wasn't the stuff you did to me over the course of the game bad enough? The rogue User, the thugs in the streets after the bombings, the affects of the connection with the poisoned Sea, the impending identity crisis. All of those things should have filled the quota for terrible things to do to one person!

Please. I don't want me - any me - to witness the Purge first hand. Especially not in the way you are thinking of writing it. Please.

bad enough that the beta's User is going back on her word????? but... Allon only saw a tiny fraction of the Purge, and that was more than enough. More than enough for anyone.

hushed, flickering] What's she doing to you?

She's going to let 'me' live long enough to forge close bonds with friends and experience the height of ISO society, and then...then watch it all get taken away. Then 'I' will get to live the life of a fugitive for a short while, then have a horrible realization seconds before everything ends.

[..that's awful. :c ]

Why would she do that? That's... a cruel thing to do.

[glances up, and then back at her, eyes full of pain; no, won't apologise, isn't like some of the other muses in here who are so understanding of these distant, controlling not-quite-Users. also, hesitantly, reaches out a little; would a touch on the cheek help at all, or a hug...?]
