(TEREZI): “Aradia, I thought I told you not to bring her here.”

ARADIA: :)

TEREZI: “What is this...?”

(TEREZI): “Turn back.”

(TEREZI): “Go back Outside where you came from.”

TEREZI: “...I’m not going back without her. Release her.”

(TEREZI): “Not after what she did.”

(TEREZI): “Did you think that after what she did, styling herself as the ultimate gamer -”

(TEREZI): “Dismissing and mocking those who didn’t fit her image, sacrificing others in the pursuit of her goals -”

(TEREZI): “Inextricably tying herself to Lord English’s canon - did you think she could just walk right out of her vortex?”

(TEREZI): “Did you think that she could live as a civilian? I don’t think she thought so either.”

(TEREZI): “You’re me. You’re us. We know that there is justice in this world.”

(TEREZI): “We know that justice exists because we enforce it.”

(TEREZI): “She’s shown us who she is. She won’t learn and she won’t grow. She’ll pretend she learned her lesson and keep on repeating her patterns.”

(TEREZI): “She hurt our friends. She will keep on hurting people if she is let back Outside.”

(TEREZI): “She belongs here, with us. We can keep her, because we’re the ones who can handle her.”

TEREZI: “...”

(TEREZI): “Aradia, please take her away.”

ARADIA: “If you insist...”

TEREZI: “...Aradia, maybe they’re right. But... it doesn’t feel right for me to be out there, without her, either.”
