Typhon

Chris: I did not drag Claire into this.

*two seconds later someones pounding on their door*

Leon: WHO IS THAT?

this is my magnum fuckign opus

Like, where is my emotionally-gutting two-part story where Rin calms Kazan’s feral rage after he arrives in the Fog, later followed by him offering her the comfort of a father figure for the first time in years after she has a traumatic relapse?

Where is my character study of the Legion, being loyal to each other first and the Entity second, refusing to leave each other behind even when Talbot takes them so that they become agonizingly fused together into one body?

Where is my tender but sad scene of the Survivors discussing their previous memories of life pre-fog, writing them down to keep them fresh and to stave off the amnesia of the Fog, when suddenly they are surprised by the Killers who come pouring through the trees with their own memories, begging the Survivors to codify them so that the Entity can’t twist their recollections any further?

Where is the moment of snapping for Adiris, as Evan finally grasps enough of her language and her enough of his to communicate that the Entity isn’t her God, that she was manipulated again, and she shuts down knowing that everything she did was for naught, only to rise with unquenchable rage and a determination to see the Entity burn for daring to deceive her?

Where is the moment Caleb realizes that the people he’s killing in the Fog aren’t his bullies, the warden, Bayshore- they’re innocents who were dragged into his mess, and he was once again manipulated by a higher power than himself into perpetuating an endless cycle of pain?

Where is the moment where Susie is terrified of being punished by the Entity after an unsuccessful round in which it seems all Survivors will escape, only for Yun-Jin to turn around for a moment and see Susie shaking amd crying with fear, knowing what the Entity will do now that she’s failed, and seeing a flicker of herself in the pink-haired girl, and decides she has nothing left to lose, and so lets Susie take her to a hook even when she could’ve escaped just so that this child will not have to be punished?

Where is my story about Sally and Herman temporarily putting aside their endless differences to heal and mend the wounds of the other Killers, because the Entity refuses to do so for them, and they gain a begrudging respect for each other after watching the other work to help their friends and keep them as healthy as they can be?

Where is Carmina witnessing Kazan’s mori for the first time, watching him rip out a Survivor’s tongue, and is forced back to the moment where the same was done to her, and recoils from Kazan in terror even as he tries to communicate that he won’t hurt her, and Rin once more has to step in to calm the situation, leaving Kazan to feel guilty about scaring someone with his brutality for the first time?

Where is a quiet moment between Trials, where Anna takes Ji-Woon and Caleb into the Red Forest for target practice, and each take turns showing each other their tricks and how they use their weapons, growing closer as a result?

Where is Adiris’ reaction to the Hallowed Blight, once more forced to watch people she cares for suffer with an affliction she can do nothing to cure, only to be captured by Talbot herself, and give into the hopelessness, succumbing to the Blight in turn?
