[PHOENIX]
[when you open your eyes, you find yourself in a pleasant greenhouse. the sweet scent of flowers surrounds you, and the sun shining through the glass ceiling invigorates you from within. there are stone benches on which you can sit, and if you're hungry, there's a garden table with some refreshing tea and scones available to you]
[the voice– the good voice– echoes in your head again]
YOUR DESIRES. . . CREATED THIS REALM. IT IS YOURS. . . IT IS NOT TYPHON'S! I CAN USE THOSE DESIRES TO GIVE YOU A SAFE PLACE. . . FROM WHICH TO FIGHT.
BUT I CANNOT DEFEAT HIM. . . ONLY YOU CAN. ONLY YOU– WITH YOUR OWN DESIRES!! YOU CAN. . . RESHAPE THIS WORLD. . . HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE!

All I wanted was a place for my family to live. . . and you dare take it away from me?! I hate you all; I shall smite you from existence with the power of a god!

Marianne will usher people toward the table with a bit less shyness than usual. And she will happily pour tea for anyone who cooperates.]
It's not lavender tea, but it will do. I've missed doing this with everyone.

Don't drag us into it then! I don't understand why we had to be dragged into it at all! Just invite the kids without us! If you hate us so much. Tch.

[DESIRE TURN IN]
Re: [DESIRE TURN IN]

And while she cannot reconcile what Typhon did to her, she wishes that whatever he becomes is something that won't ever hurt his children again, like he did when scaring her epimeliad possession. It would be nice for a change of heart, but in her case the strongest wish is that he is rendered incapable of abuse or cruelty. A parent should love their children in a way that means letting them grow up in ways that may not be what you expected for them.

However, it is the love he feels for his new friends and those he had before here, that he wants everyone to be happy with who they are. Sometimes people have to depart and not see each other, and that's okay...but if he can, maybe it would be super cool to be able to visit them.
He can't exactly completely forgive Typhon, but a bit like Kandori, he realizes he has sympathy, not hate for him and hopes that his wish of giving him and his children new lives, both as a way for Typhon to start over with perhaps better tools to overcome darkness and better understanding of himself (much like Naoya had done back home when he faced his own shadow), and also for his children to live without the weight of their father weighing down on them.]
Re: [DESIRE TURN IN]
As the guardian of a child, he could understand Typhon's desperation, but he could not condone his methods.
Instead, he puts his ocarina to his lips and starts playing, expressing his Love through music, and there's a different candor to this playing, an undertone of hope instead of melancholy.]
Re: [DESIRE TURN IN]
I still think you're a jerk, Typhon. But I hope you will see the family you love again someday. Without having to stuff them into others.
no subject
She prays that Hunter's portal door is successful, and joins her fellow Phoenixes in the hopes that she will be able to use the portal to visit the found family she has grown to love so much in her time here.
She prays that Typhon's children might be able to find some semblence of peace and love in the world they create for them, untarnished by hatred, desperation, and their father's terrible actions. She doesn't understand the full extent of what they've been through, but she realizes that this has been as awful for them as it has been for the inmates here. They deserve better.
And finally, she prays that Typhon himself finds it in him to love himself and his children. She can't forgive him for the suffering he's caused, but she's well aware of the ways in which one's circumstances can turn someone into a monster. Maybe it's a bit of projection on her part, but she can't help but wonder if he hates himself as much as he say he hates the rest of them. Self-directed hatred is the most damaging hatred of all. Perhaps in freeing himself from that, he can begin to atone for his misdeeds. ]

But you can make it all up to me by keeping that portal door they're making charged up and activated, and giving me full control of this place.
[THE END]
[and then. . . the glass begins to crack]
[this may seem worrying, but the bunny box's voice echoes in your head to soothe your concerns]
IT IS OKAY! DO NOT WORRY. YOUR POWER. . . IT IS ENOUGH. CLOSE YOUR EYES AND HOLD ON VERY VERY TIGHTLY!!
[and then, all around you, the greenhouse glass shatters, and your vision is engulfed in a warm, bright light]
