A peaceful disquiet.

Well, it really was just a waiting game, wasn't it, Loveless? [smirk] Sometimes, beating the shit out of oneself is worth a thousand kisses.
Theta's head was uncannily still, translucent eyelids the only things moving as its stared. As soon as Shannon blinked, the damn monster started laughing in that awful rumble. "Oh, oh, you still don't understand. It's not about me. If that was all, I wouldn't be doing this. I mean think about it. I would run off somewhere, set myself up where I could find food easily and stay hidden. I could do that. Remember, this is about sympathy." She hissed that word. "What do you think I've meant by the 'loveless' jab, all this time? You have sympathy for Kay, your little darling favorite who ran off. For me, even! Close enough to scratch whatever itch Kay did, even if I can never replace her. But the ones that don't pique your interest? What about them? Do you think I'm going to let any of you kill a single one of us again, now that I can stop you?"
Shannon swallowed. That was... But... "But they're monsters! They aren't like Kay! They aren't like... you. You haven't seen them, they're—"
"Just like me!" Theta snarled, and then sighed. "Just like Kay. Very good at pretending we don't have emotions. Because you all killed everyone who didn't manage to lie well enough. Do you know how suffocating it was to constantly pretend I never felt anything, Loveless? Do you know much of a relief it was when Cadmus did... whatever he did to me, and I was suddenly too important to kill off? I could finally tell someone, you, my big secret that I was faking. Always faking. And all this relief just because I was too close to failure. You pawned me off on Cadmus because of what he did with Kay, you weren't giving him another good subject." She hissed. "Stop kidding yourself! You think I'm emotionless when it suits you, think I'm emotional when I finally admit it, and whip right back around to emotionless when I threaten you. So it will be okay when you shoot me! Because you can think of me as not like you anymore! And that's why I have to kill you!"

“Knowledge is a condition of knowing; virtue a condition of being; utility a condition of doing.”
The fucking book is with the size of like half of my bed and I can beat the shit out of someone with the slipcase 'cause I can barely pick up the thing itself, for fuck’s sake! [ literally screeching right now ] -

Lightly, child, lightly.
And one thing at a time.
There's nothing to be afraid of.

There's no way for there to not be a way 'cause if the way isn't there then we'll just create Our Motherfucking Way. Period. [mic drop]
