Gilrain: “…even if you were to descend into hell, would you still be willing to accompany me?”

Hello??? What is this line even??? 😭

He sounds so low and soft here, almost hesitant, like the words are dragging vulnerability out of him against his will.

Gilrain, my beloved grumpy sass-machine, how dare you. One moment you’re roasting everyone, the next you’re hitting me with this quiet plea?? I cannot be normal about him, or his voice, or the way he says it like he’s afraid of the answer.

•“The feelings in my heart vanished long ago with the moonlight.” → excuse me sir, that’s called emotional devastation.

•“Light begets shadow, but the shadow holds no allegiance.” → philosopher mode unlocked, thanks for the existential crisis.

•“Have you also come to enjoy the night’s serenity?” → suddenly soft and soothing, like he actually wants me to breathe for once.

•“So you’ve found me in the shadows. Try to keep up then.” → the growl. The huff. Goodbye.

•“What’s on your mind? Speak, and I will take care of it.” → oh, so now you’re protective too?

•And then that quiet plea: “…even if you were to descend into hell, would you still be willing to accompany me?” → WHY does he sound like he’s breaking when he says this??

Baphomet is literally standing right there in his rusting armor, and this man just goes:

“An almost eternal lifespan of memories, yet confined to a rusting metal. I can understand his obsession with flesh.”

Sir?? You cannot just say that out loud in the middle of the room. (Well, to be fair, maybe that‘s the point.)

“Or perhaps you seek to unravel my mysteries.”

Yes, actually.

“Speak not; simply feel the tranquility of this moment.”

Sir, I’m begging you.

“You seem to have changed.”

Maybe I have, Cain. Maybe I have.

…Fast forward a few days: I folded. Because look at him. Just look at him.

He’s a tragic painting come to life—silver ribbons, bloodlight, something between angel and ghost, sorrow and grace. Ethereal enough to hurt. So yes, I’m calling this an art investment, actually.

Though honestly, skins would feel so much more worthwhile if they came with added voicelines or had some function in combat. I’m not paying just to stare at fabric, give me lines to cry or swoon over, please.
