Nailah presses her lips into a thin line. Patience isn't her strongest suit.

"At least I won't have to actively remember this part of it..."

"You want it straight? Alright."

"I wound up the way I am because I was in love with the burgomaster's daughter. She told the priests I led her into sin, but as I recall it she did most of the leading."

"In another age there might have been therapy or counseling, but back then they were very keen back then on burning their witches, whatever form those witches might take."

"The night before it was to happen, a dwarf appeared to me and offered me a way out. I was desperate, and I took it."

"Since then, I was reasonably certain that I was damned, and as time went on I started to carry on with that in mind. I kept company that would curl your hair, and I hunted and killed in exchange for comfort. Eventually I hunted and killed for fun. After all, I was damned."

"And then I died. It was only for an eyeblink. I wasn't alone. I could see the Morrigan reaching out to try to catch all those little lights, before even she was snuffed out."

"And then I wasn't dead at all. All the strings that held me fell away."

"Freedom was frightening. It still is."

Nailah looks at her for a long time and she had to admit that maybe Isolde has a little bit of a basis for giving her advice even if her initial reaction to bad things happening had been to, well, become a monster.

"I'm sorry. That people were so awful to you and all."

"That's nice..." she says, sounding more dejected than sarcastic and almost a bit jealous.

Nailah sighs and musters a brave smile that's quickly becoming well-practiced. "I... do appreciate people trying to help and all, but I don't care if I'm pushing myself too hard. I need this. I gotta know there's still something I can do, I can improve in. That I'm not just stuck retracing my steps every day."
