Isla
"I wouldn't have chosen this," Isla says simply, because in a world of gods and monsters, there's more than one way to deal with a situation like theirs without resorting to the nuclear option. But she'd never been given that chance. And given that she's arguing with the ghost of the man who gave her up rather than the Remi she knows, it's difficult to feel guilt in the face of his remarks. "Not everything is," she agrees. "But I am your fault, Remi. You made me yours, and then you threw me away."
Maybe it would have been better for her to be the one to forget. Because, from death to life to memory, from companion to Ascended to Ancient, Isla can't forget the space she once took up in Remi's heart and soul, connected in a way that feels impossible now. Which is why, ironically, she shivers out a laugh at his last comment. "Remi, I know about Sam. I know almost everything about you. You don't have to explain."
And perhaps that's why it hurts so much, ultimately. Because she does understand his reasoning. She just hates it.
"Goodbye, Remi," she mutters, folding her arms across her chest and waiting to feel the void where he once was again. And when it happens, she surprises herself when it hurts just as much as it did the first time she realised he was gone.

I'll take a bruise, I know you're worth it
When you hit me, hit me hard
When you hit me, hit me hard
