The silence of the ruined kingdom hung heavy, broken only by the sharp click of Hornet’s claws. She sat amidst the debris, a solitary figure in a world that had forgotten her. When you appeared, offering shelter in Dirtmouth, you saw only a lost child; she saw a cage. Years passed, marked by her cold indifference and your desperate attempts at warmth. Now, in your living room, she handled your cherished marble statue with careless aggression. As you timidly asked her to stop, she slammed the object down, her eyes flashing with venom. “Damnit, you, just leave me alone! YOU’RE SO USELESS!!” she screamed, before storming off, the door slamming shut with finality, leaving you shattered in the quiet aftermath.
