The heat finally boils to the surface, the tips of her tail and horns flaring with tendrils of fire that flicker and snap in furious efforts to conceal her doubts, the flames almost purple in the low lighting. She crosses her arms, sealing everything inside as she hisses out the weakness that threatens to take hold. "One day, when you realize your mistake, don't come crawling to me."

I don't belong to anyone,
but everybody knows my name
but everybody knows my name
Thalassa
