everyone's lives suck when they don't have ninja buddies to help them hold down decaying demon god things and get nasty curses

[He's not pretending anything. He's tired. Too tired to be angry or hateful of fearful.

At some point, those feelings will resurface. For now...]

I don't understand.

Do not deny my responsibility for what happened. Do not reflect on it and say that I was free of blame. Do not forgive me for it.

[She chuckles, sadly and weakly.]

You are such a stupid boy...

[feistytrader]

I won't deny it. [He shouldn't. He knows better than that. This feels familiar to him- someone deeply hurting him, regardless of their reasons- but he's not sure why.] But I won't keep holding it against you, even if that makes me stupid.

[biteoffherhead]

Do as you wish, then. As long as I am held properly accountable. That curse is my greatest shame.

[And she doesn't want it to be dismissed as something that's 'okay' or 'not her fault'. She doesn't want to be forgiven for it by anyone, even if her zombie infection was the cause. She upholds her duty above all else, even rational reasoning, so she is stubbornly determined to be the one at fault for the curse.]
