anyway it said something new just now.

"we made it work. attempt number six was successful. it worked, everyone!"

[ The worried smile is still in place as Apollo processes what Venus is saying. He still has the sneaking suspicion that some of this is just an elaborate metaphor. ]

You turned other kids in to devils, [ He repeats faintly and a little uneasily. ] I presume they... wanted to have that done?

[ Who even wants that! Apollo doesn't know!! ]

[ she's worried about apollo's unease. how could she not be? he's strong, and loud, and there's a power to his voice as bright and radiant as the sun. she wants that behind her back, pushing her forward with the light - not beating down at her from above.

but it's not like she's smart enough to make anything sound better by being evasive, or not telling the whole truth. she wouldn't want to even if she was. so instead, she just lays it all out. ]

The devil can't get you if you don't want her to. [ it's said simply, plainly - because it really is just that simple. she shrugs. ] It's not like any of us were any good to begin with. We just- told them that they didn't have to try so hard anymore. That they were okay the way they were. And that's all it took.
