Draw the cat eye, sharp enough to kill a man
You did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them

It had taken very little convincing to get Noe to flee the party. Between her sudden cure and Vox’s resulting screech, she was more than happy to get the fuck away from the chaos, even if a small part of her - a part she tried very hard to convince herself was a remnant of her infection - felt kind of bad for the eldritch horror. They’d been friends, after all. He’d been her favorite.
But it had all been a lie, all designed to lure her in, to trap her in a cage of her own mind.
Thinking back on it, it made her sick.
She stumbled along after the others, not slowing until the rest of them did. And when she came to a stop, it was all she could do to stay upright. She wanted nothing more than to sink into the ground, to be swallowed up and disappear. Maybe then she wouldn’t feel this - this guilt, this shame, this rage.
She was dimly aware of someone speaking to her - Sohalia, maybe; the voice sounded feminine, but she couldn’t have told you what they said to her. She stared down at the ground blankly, arms wrapped around herself, holding together all the pieces of her soul that threatened to fall apart, forever changed by the violet menace that had resided within her for so long.
When they moved, she’d follow. But for right now? Right now, that was the best she could do.

Sometimes I wonder which one will be your last lie
They say looks can kill and I might try
They say looks can kill and I might try
