this is the most tragic, difficult thing she has ever had to deal with in her entire life, , being beaten, , kidnapped and tortured was easier than this, , that was a cake walk- but sitting here with him , , with this new person J O K E R - - it was a new level of heart break she had not in all her years has ever felt. there was no time to morn Arthur, , once the mind is broken the way his is theres no time to think, , so here she sat her hands in the lap of her tan velvet skirt , , brown hues resting calmly on her patient which he still was, , he always would be - there wasn’t a choice in that, it wasn’t up to anyone else, not the people, and not the JOKER.
“ you haven’t died . “ her tone was soft, , lips turned in a soft smile, , everything about her was soft- - just as it always was for Arthur, and how it would be n matter what happened, , she was a professional and every emotion she was feeling needed to be put away, , she wasn’t going to get in the way of the progress that he was in need of, , “ feels like it doesn’t it ? “ she shifts slightly in her seat as her eyes focus into the others, her fingers moving to fix her sleeves as she did so, , she hoping to show that she was comfortable even if everyone else was not- - “ but i know you are very much alive Arthur, , you’re just hiding right now.” she gives a slight nod, , “ and thats okay. . ill talk to my new friend. “ she offers teeth in her widening smile as she spoke, “ Joker, , do you do stand up as well ? or is it just your name ? “
THERE WERE SIGNS. signs that this was imminent. this person. no, arthur wasn’t gone. he wasn’t dead. not really. he had just changed. but so drastically he wasn’t arthur anymore. he was joker. a murderer. and to this person, arthur was dead. there was no chance of him returning. that part of him was gone. for good. but perhaps that wasn’t the case. perhaps there was still hope for him. despite how much it didn’t look like it right now. maybe he could be helped.
SMILE SPREADS ACROSS PAINTED FEATURES. careful movements up to the bars of his cell. hands grasping slowly onto cold metal as he leans close. crooked teeth bearing. a low chuckle raises into full laughter which never seems to cease. arthur had always had a peculiar laugh - but now with the way he looked it was just ... creepy. “ naive, as always “ words slither out with malice soaked tone. green hues are deadly still. watching her. seeing right through her. “ always wanting to see the good in people, hm? well where’s the good in me now, cori? where is it now?! “ he shakes the bars violently. this really wasn’t arthur anymore. he was a mere shell of his former self.
