Author's Note: The spoilers start coming in heavy now. Though this is set before Las Vegas, it hints at things much later in the game.
Lady is an odd pov character. o.o
Lady knows she is different from the other beings that resemble her. Within her the malice is awake, rushing through her veins, whereas in the others it still sleeps.
Ahead, the red-haired man is being playful; he seizes the brunette and pins her next to a dumpster with one hand keeping both of hers above her head. With the other hand he traces the bullet-shaped hole in the front of her dress before cupping a breast. Instantly the woman's malice surges, turning her eyes red. Seeing this the man smirks and laughs before releasing her, and the woman storms ahead.
Lady makes no effort to change her pace, knowing the woman does not have the energy to maintain that speed. These two are strange. They are not like the others. Yet, though she had awakened their malice, they are not like her, either.
Waiting until she caught up to him, the man looks back with a grin. "Hey, Lady, why don't you have some fun with her? I bet you could rile her easy."
He always insists on doing pointless things. The woman at least wants to rescue her brother, an instinct natural to this species.
In that moment the ground drops out from under her feet as water rushes up, filling her mouth and nostrils. No, not water--this is thicker, like a gel, but she is still able to breathe. To her right is a boy, also floating in liquid--but the one surrounding his unconscious form is red, and at this sight she feels a sharp pain in her chest.
"Lady?"
Her feet land back on solid ground and her eyes rest on a black shirt with red stripes before she lifts her gaze. The man is looking at her with a frown, and past him the brunette has come to a stop.
"Are you all right?"
The question implies he thought something was wrong, a valid assumption. A hallucination...and is there a defect in her heart? The will of this world must be poisoning her.
Still, she nods in response to his question and drops her hand from her chest before walking past him. She's sure if she confirmed his suspicion, the man would just do more unnecessary things. This is not the time for that. She needs to fill the world with malice. Then, the will won't be able to touch her.
