[Ruby hardly has a chance to react as she's straddled by Six. The punch to the gut prevents her doing much else as she feels the air get sucked out of her lungs. But that's not what hurts her most. The words stab hard at her core because they ring true.

She had everything here. A loving wife, a family who cared for her. People she could protect and people who would protect her too. And all that had slipped away because she had let herself get more hurt and corrupted as they went along- It didn't matter that she had come back from it. The damage had been done, the hurting she had caused had obviously not stopped.

She grits her teeth as she feels the pressure of the grip on her finger. She doesn't fight back. Her good eye just stares up at Six with a mix of pain, and regret in it. Then she feels pain build up as it breaks and she sucks in a cry. She didn't deserve to let on how much this was hurting her.]

...Because I don't need help.

Because I never deserved it.

Oh, shut up.

[she holds herself back from punching ruby again, but it is a hard fight, and she clenches her fist so tightly that one of the knuckles cracks. she's content, after saying that, just watching ruby stay there and deal with the pain, but even then it's not enough. it's not entertaining. it's not satisfying. so she starts talking again instead.]

Nobody wants to hear this "woe is me" bullshit from you. We both know you don't even believe it. "Oh, I don't need help, I never deserved help"—shut the hell up. You're human, you deserve help, it comes free with your fucking XBox. [and that is not meant to be a comfort. she drives her fist down next to ruby's head, hard enough to leave a dent on the surface behind her.]

But she isn't human. And she hates herself for it. And we all know she hates herself for it. You don't even get it. [she growls and leans in close, her skin still iridescent white, her form hard to focus on.] Everything feeds into me. So by all means. Keep deprecating. Keep acting like you're some worthless piece of shit. You have 192 unbroken bones left, and I have all fucking day.
