Echoes of Ziost

Heard a suspicious noise.

Suspected Aries.

Suspect caught in the act.

I just love how every scene with Kreia is similar to the other on Peragus in many ways. There's definitely a queer sense of reflection between the two characters ('queer' being used with dual meanings here).

The calm urgency expressed by Kreia gives the sense of "oh shit" so well. But also layers the intrigue. I love it.

Speaking of intrigue: i also still get quite the kick out of the fact that the game, from the get go, is implying that Kreia has some Special Power/Role to play. She has an automatic 5 in persuade, despite the fact that it explicitly states "only the main character can select this skill" -- and yet Kreia has it ... Gee can't imagine why 😂

Ya know. Just checking up on the old woman. Who you have a sudden telepathic bond to.

That's totally not gonna cause you to slow become attached in any--

1 Second Later: gas erupts in the tunnel.

"Wait! What's happening with the ventilation system?! Its--"

And then there's how they established the link between the *you* and her. Visions? Telepathy? The sudden ghostly silence whwn you try to respond, only for Kreia to come back and further deepen the experience.

The warning. The near desperate rasping tone (without the hint of begging) that guides you "down familiar paths". To who? You both.

The way Kreia describes what can be sensed. How and why. The establishment that she feels what *you* feel in entirety.

And then the final push.

Tell me you're gay without telling me you're gay, I'll go first: this scene.

This. Scene.

Local old woman too spiteful to die was a literal corpse 2 minutes ago and suddenly comes alive because she's absolutely obsessed with you and what you represent
