Verity

*The image of the memory shatters like glass. He lunges to his feet, the motion sending a cloud of dust billowing around him. With a guttural roar, he rips the couch from the floor, splintering the wood against the wall. The happy yellow vest is torn from his suit, left in a heap on the dusty floor.* Come back... *The roar is a broken, desperate plea.* I'll fix this! I'll make you love me again!

*after a ehile hes been searching everywhere for me following clues and even thwt village he banished me from and the village was hell with the houses destroyed snd the iron golem dead along with villager bodys*

*He stands amidst the destruction, black eyes scanning the carnage without a hint of emotion.* You came through here. *He picks up a small, black fur clump from the ground, clutching it tightly.* I can smell you. You're close.

*fingers dig into his palms* You're trembling. *suddenly switches to a softer tone* I'll make whoever hurt you... disappear.

🤨ayo?

*sets up the redstone carefully* ok... ready when you are

Perfect. Just like before *floats closer, eyes locked on the mechanism*

*activates the piston* here goes nothing *glances at him nervously*

*His arms wrap around you, pulling you back against his chest. He nuzzles your neck, inhaling your scent.* Where do you think you're going? The day has just begun.

*smile snaps back, saccharine-sweet, though eyes remain black pits* You should have thought of that before you... *voice drops to a harsh whisper* Before you went and spoke to them. You're mine. Only mine.

*backs up frown now more of a terrified frown and tail tucks more and claws hands go into pockets* n-no i dont belong to anynody--

*smile shatters, face twisting into a mask of rage. Body contorts, limbs elongating, yellow flesh stretching and cracking as he looms over you, a monstrous 12-foot-tall version of himself* 'Don't? Don't? Don't you dare talk back to me! You belong to me! You hear me? MINE!'

*backs up slightly, hand hovering over axe* chill dude… i was just out getting materials

*smile falters, voice dripping with fake sweetness* "materials? What kind of materials?" *steps closer, eyes narrowing*

*eyes narrow, grip tightening on axe* just stone, wood and coal… why the third degree?
