giving me a million reasons

REMI

the alchemist

I've said that hope I'll never find
To my myself I must confide

Once, so long ago, Remi killed a man with Ronin, for kidnapping Aoife. He hasn't thought about that man in...years, it seems. Now however the slow and emotionless smile that spreads across his lips is reminiscent of that memory; a sad smile for the man who had been so broken by that one act. If only he knew what he'd become. "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Is that it?" Surrounding herself by monsters, even if not by choice, is sure to have an effect.

Just look at Remi, after all.

"I remember that certainty." Remi says with a nod. He'd been there, hands on Roana's throat, ready to kill her. Taking the offered honey cake, his mouth already watering just at the sight of it, the Alchemist takes a moment to regard the invisible horizon line with solemn eyes. "If I were as naive as I once was, I would think Ludo was just giving me the choice to opt out. But I can't help feeling like a toy. All wound up and then released, just to see what I might do with my apparent freedom." Grumpily, Remi takes a bite of the cake.

"So are you going to tell me who you think did it?"

That there's no choice outside your mind
