[ Adolphe seems functioning this morning which is surprising considering how much he drank last night. But he's here in Whoville, looking at his own present box and looks up to address her. ]
[here we are in the void!! some part of the void that has reflective surfaces, because whenever they happen to be in the same place it's time to get thrown into a memory of getting traumatized by and ultimately killing a god with her companion, wahoooooo. notably, the version of herself shown in this memory doesn't have the same black vein/eye combo going on that she currently does.]
[ freakin mood, neverah. That's just Adolphe the entire time when he witnesses the memory and he feels like the pain is almost his own as he winces.
...
In fact, it shook him to the core so much that while trying to process everything that's happening, he completely forgets about the differences in the appearances of Neverah then and now and stares at her with wide eyes. ]
We were there to kill her and the rest of the gods.
[very funny she's in this game specifically, but also:]
The heart tree is... essentially the nexus between our world and the world of the gods. We needed their power to travel between the realms once we were done. She just collected a price before she gave us that power.

Yeah, I'm Adolphe.

[ Not fine, but like. ]
This place really has a way of digging up our private things, doesn't it.
[ He's annoyed. ]
no subject
[she doesn't sound happy about it, necessarily, but - it's more steely than raw, the kind of upset that's locked down. none of it is directed at him.]
I imagine you have questions. You may ask.

What... was all that about, actually? The tree, the oracle, and... whatever it did to you.

[and the price was trauma. nice.]

[ christ alive. ]
You'd think gods wouldn't care about that, but it seems to be the most popular pick.
no subject
Yes, well. If they were kind or just, we wouldn't have been there to get rid of them.

[ disdain... freaking gods. He has an Opinion about this whole redemption project too. ]
