navani and raboniel were really something else. honestly yeah what if we were two enemy queens on a chessboard 👉👈 what if you sieged my tower and ingratiated yourself as my lab partner but your respect made me begin trusting myself again 👉👈 what if we worked together to learn I misunderstood you and you misunderstood me 👉👈 (i'm not a scholar, i just kept accidentally being the Leading Cause of New Inventions for the last six years ) 👉👈 what if i took your hands and asked you to look in your heart and find peace but you pulled away👉👈 what if you dedicated a song to me and gave me a high title of honor among your people👉👈what if i forgot that my people needed me and just kept trying to understand you but what if 👉👈 you ruined me 👉👈 and as i lost myself you taught me the secrets to the universe, and you softly asked, 'what are we doing?' 👉👈 you were there in the cacophony of my madness 👉👈 'ingenious,' you said 👉👈 but god forbid what if you gave me a single moment of rest and i used it to try and kill you, though a 'treasonous part of me was glad you had not died' 👉👈 i helped you grieve your daughter as i knew to grieve my son 👉👈 what if at the end of it all, with my city falling around me, you let me go, and that was your mistake 👉👈 what if you unlocked a monster in me that is unnacceptable 👉👈 i spring a trap that catches us both, that tortures us both, but as you cry, paralyzed, i have enough practice with this pain to pull away and grit my teeth-- 'i'm sorry...i'm...sorry...but next time...try...not...to be... so...trusting'-- 👉👈 in your dying breath you tell me all you ever cared about was peace, and you want your side to win but mostly you want the war to end--after all that you beg me to run--to take our research and leave—after all that—
