meg giry / the hot mess that is "love never dies" (or just phantom of the opera nbd)

[submergence]

You're here to scold me too, aren't you? Visit and tell me what a worthless thing I've become, I'm disgusting and violent and don't you think I'm aware of that?

You can take me away, can't you? Anywhere. I don't care. Away from here.

Just not the ocean.

I miss it. I just - I don't want to be near it anymore.

Right. Must be nice if it's so easy for you.

[cassie_of_troy]

Is that what you think?

[submergence]

You speak as though that's the case.

And I don't recall saying I hadn't tried.

[cassie_of_troy]

What have you done?

[submergence]

[Her face shows nothing but alarm. That half-baked "escape" scheme is what got here here in the first place. She turns away.]

It would be better if you took my word for it. It's in the past; it didn't work.

[cassie_of_troy]

If there's one thing I know beyond a reasonable doubt it's that the past matters very much.

[submergence]

Maybe so.

[Hopefully not. At least in her case.]

That doesn't mean we should dwell on it.

[cassie_of_troy]

I suppose not.
