Smother me with pillows and kindness, in which I have never seen
Please slit my perfect throat with the knife that I gave you
The Voice appeared before him and all at once Sam felt a wave of intense comfort and a shock of fear: the desire to be safe again in his Goddess-mother's arms and the revolutionary spirit that had taken hold in him fighting it out in his mind as he listened to her words. She chided him gently, as he had expected; he was quiet as she spoke.
"...No th-threats, but...because we d-die with..without your help, that's...I mean, if we d-didn't do what you wanted, you cou...could just kill us. Re-remove our upgrades. Stop gi-giving us fluid. There's always that. In my mi-mind." He pointed out, wondering if the Voice had realised the implicit threat that lingered behind her requests. "And wh..when I disagreed with the fi-fight with the monsters, you di-didn't have to shame or th...threaten me. Wessex does it f..for you."
At one point he would never have argued, but with the freedom of thought and independance he'd gained in the last weeks, he knew he would not able to rest until he had answers...though the matter of the dead family members was enough to lower his confident gaze. "...Ar...are their souls with yo-you? Are they alright? I...I really th-thought I was going to help p..people, with the door.." He sunk down, hands pressing against the earth in a defeated pose.

When I told you "I love you" in my home
Just stab me in the back
