"The o-other path?
There's...this thing. Called the Throne of Want. It can cure hollowing. Forever.
O-Or we could get a Fire Keeper soul. T-Then I might be able to cure it...
I don't know, really..."

-
"What do we have to do for either of those?"
-
"Throne of Want is...complicated. As for the soul...probably murder. Or we'd just have to locate one."
-
"Might it work with Yuria?"
-
"She's not a Firekeeper...so no. B-But we can use her humanity still... Look, I...I don't want to kill Yuria...I don't want anyone to die. I'd rather suffer like this instead of having someone be killed. Even if that's Yuria..." [i]Anri slowly rose up, wiping tears off of her ragged face as she sighed heavily.[/i]
-
"Anri... She took your sanity and made you like this... People like her make me sick and I don't want you to suffer. You don't deserve to suffer."
-
"It's fine, Sketch...I'll just have to hope that I don't get killed anytime soon, because if I do..." [i]Anri shakes at the thought of going fully Hollow, sighing heavily.[/i]

-
"S-Sketch...I don't want anyone to die...even Yuria doesn't need to die. I'll be fine...I promise." [i]Anri sighed once again, shaking her head as she looked up at the orange sky.[/i]

Edited by Skatch142: 9/12/2016 8:55:11 PM"Anri, you can't stay like this. It upsets me to see you like this and if you die......... Leaving Serenity and Leyla to die was one thing. But doing something this horrible to you, making you kill innocents. She doesn't deserve to be spared... She needs to die, not just to save you but as justice for the people she forced you to kill." *He puts his hand on her shoulder, both trying to comfort her but letting her know that he won't take no for an answer either.* "I'm not forcing you to kill her. But she is going to die whether it saves you or not."
-
"I..." [i]Anri sighed, brushing some hair out of her rather soulless looking eyes.[/i] "A-Alright...alright..."
-
"Okay... Is there anything else you want or need to talk about? That can't be all that's happened."
-
"W-Well...I'm now the Lord of Hollows, which is sorta like a monarch in Londor... And the sword, I pulled it from the First Flame...it's okay, I guess."
-
"Lord of Hollows? Is-Is that good? It can't be considering you are currently a hollow."
-
"Hollows just...look up to me, from what I've seen. As if I'm some sort of hero..."
-
"Oh, well that's not that bad then... I have a question. That orange stuff, was that-was that the king's soul you absorbed?"
-
"Y-Yeah. That was his soul, Sketch." [i]She shook her head, closing her eyes.[/i] "I...I'm sorry, it's...new."
-
"What do you mean? And why did you take it?"
-
"I...I'm just not used to it. For some reason, I'm considered a "vessel for souls". I can't help taking the souls of those I kill..."
-
"Oh, okay then... Is there anything bothering you other than what you told me?"
-
"N-No. I'm fine. Look, I...I probably need my helmet again. I don't see people reacting calmly to...a Hollow." [i]Crossing her arms, Anri slowly looked down at her armored feet, tapping the ground lightly with her right foot.[/i]
-
*He hands her helmet back, shaking his head.* "I suppose it's for the best a-at the moment... We don't want people getting worried about you..."
-
"Thanks." [i]Anri simply placed it on her head, her voice becoming muffled and her Hollowed appearance once again hidden.[/i] "Should I...get going?"
-
"Yeah... Oh, hold on." *He runs off but comes back a few minutes later with a key.* "I hid the key to your apartment hoping you would come back..." *He hands it to her.* "If you need to talk again, just find me."
