/ Yeah, Nestan doesn’t entirely care if her experiments kill or severely harm people ( Marin especially ) so. . . she’s not a good person.

She’s certain it won’t kill him. Basic prototype, after all.

Useful in what sense?

[𐨿 𝐖𝙸𝙳𝙾𝚆 . ໋ @mw2someone]

Sometimes, for a change, it's nice to be honest. Honesty leads to useful connections.

( 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. )

other things may be better suited for relieving the pain, if it’s at the base of your neck, massage and heat offer relief. at the front, prime hydration and a cold compress. yada-yada. i was simply curious.

painkillers may not always work.

( soft huff， tiresome questioning. ) what does it matter?

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙎𝘼𝙑𝘼𝙉𝙏 . ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ @LYTHALITY]

Hmm… intriguing.

Ah, I don’t… “need” the information, but it’s nice to see you’re forthcoming. Makes conversation easier and I like to know people.

[𐨿 𝐖𝙸𝙳𝙾𝚆 . ໋ @mw2someone]

No, I don't miss myself. I don't remember who I am.

The emptiness inside is more like a black hole or something—impossible to fill.

What do you mean?

Why do you need all this information anyway?

𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 in my head. i’ll be fine after i take half of this bottle.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙎𝘼𝙑𝘼𝙉𝙏 . ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ @LYTHALITY]

If it erases you, then the desire for a what if makes complete sense. Do you miss yourself?

Empty inside?
My, how do you view yourself?

And yes, curious. To question is to learn.

[𐨿 𝐖𝙸𝙳𝙾𝚆 . ໋ @mw2someone]

Oh, darling, so you don't know? This lifestyle erases your personality. After a while, nothing remains but a nickname and a list of accomplishments for which the secret services are looking for you. But yes. It's almost a "what if."

And you're very curious.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙎𝘼𝙑𝘼𝙉𝙏 . ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ @LYTHALITY]

I meant in the sense you put behind the truth of yourself and feel something new, as if you are acting. Masked.

You are you, as you are, but you step into a new thought, a new idea. A what if, almost.

[𐨿 𝐖𝙸𝙳𝙾𝚆 . ໋ @mw2someone]

Not new. Different. They're two different things. It would be new if I'd quit my career at some point, started a family, and gone to the Alps to herd sheep. And it would be different if I'd never been involved in the criminal world to begin with.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙎𝘼𝙑𝘼𝙉𝙏 . ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ @LYTHALITY]

Uh-huh. So, the lipstick makes you feel entirely new then? As if you’re living a new life? A woman with something to lose?

I hold no judgement, simply curiosity. The feminine feels unique, sometimes like a mask.

[𐨿 𝐖𝙸𝙳𝙾𝚆 . ໋ @mw2someone]

It's not about winning or losing. I'm not playing poker. It's about survival. And when you survive only to hide or fight again, money is no longer a sufficient reason to fight for that survival.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙎𝘼𝙑𝘼𝙉𝙏 . ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ @LYTHALITY]

Hm.

( 𝘢 𝘯𝘰𝘥. )

Where is the pain, exactly? May need more than some simple painkillers.

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ᵘⁿ𝗱𝗲͡𝗮𝘁𝗵. @keptdeath]

( contemplating. staring. taking the bottle. ) thanks.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙎𝘼𝙑𝘼𝙉𝙏 . ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ @LYTHALITY]

Without it, you care little if you lose? Digging a shallow grave with that belief.

[𐨿 𝐖𝙸𝙳𝙾𝚆 . ໋ @mw2someone]

⠀

I actually like red lipstick. When I wear it, I feel like I'm someone else.

Someone who would be sad to lose.

Primed. Ready. Useful. The Marin Kozak way. An almost flawless soldier if it wasn’t for his voice. Realistically, if he kept his mouth shut he would be a prime cut of perfection. Humans refused perfection though, and thus, she had to live with the flaws —
