[Locked from Wesker]

[unknownrival]

I think... I should probably think about giving up my robes.

[Locked to Louis]
Relatedly, I may need somebody dead. I know you don't want my soul, and I can't give my life because of Diarmuid. But there must be something.

I know you will. I'm okay with that.

Issei, focus! Stop talking to him if you're going to keep making sloppy mistakes that give him ammo like that. You're going to get yourself into trouble that you can't go back on if you keep this up.

Don't. Talk. To Wesker! The only reason I'm so confident in talking to him is because after 20 years, he already knows everything he can use against me, and I have nothing more to lose. Stop getting yourself into trouble for no reason!

[unknownrival]

You have nothing more to lose? You could be happy. Tell me you weren't happier before he came back.

[touchofgenius]

Before or after Stein left?

[unknownrival]

Either.

It's possible to be happy and single.

[touchofgenius]

I know it's possible, but that doesn't mean I was. I'm much happier now compared to how I was after I got kicked out of my own house.

[unknownrival]

You could stay with me, or anywhere that isn't under his thumb.

[touchofgenius]

I'd rather stay with Wesker. I know this might not make a single lick of sense to you, but I like Wesker - hell, once upon a time I loved him - and I know how to deal with him better than anyone else and I don't need you, or anyone else "saving" me from a monster that I've already figured out how to protect myself from.

And maybe, just maybe, I want to be under his thumb.

[unknownrival]

...Very well. You are always free to change your mind.

[touchofgenius]

I know. And thank you for the offer. But I don't need it.

...And be careful, alright?

[unknownrival]

I will, I promise.
