[BASILISK]

[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!

...ah, I'm a bad person to ask about that, maybe.

I don't know how to live any other way.

It's not. Most of that...wasn't love, or not exactly. But enough to understand.

[ ah, his ghosts. her expression twinges at the corners of her mouth ]

I mean... ah. Never mind. You understand.

My family was like that. Both of them, that I remember.

[ah; not just the ghosts, then, though it's true that dealing with them is that too. love and death, the only constants.]

I don't think it's scary forever -- not if it's worth it.

[ through a sudden teariness, ] It is.
