I can swear up and down that they won't touch you, but I know that can't touch the memories of what they did to you.
[His voice has an edge to it with "what they did to you." Barely-contained rage. But he continues, softly.]
I might not be able to make all of that go away, but we're still here for you, okay? We love you. And you don't have to suffer this alone, not ever again.
[Rean is quick to adjust, because thankfully, he is not actually a full cat and is okay with being picked up. He nuzzles in against Ash's shoulder, kneading his paws lightly wherever they find purchase, careful not to use his claws. He keeps his purrs even, doing his best to soothe Ash with the constant thrum of the vibration.]
But we passed "normal" a long time ago, didn't we? We're constantly off galivanting into other worlds just as a start. And in this case, we're talking about a lab that experiments on children.
What would you suggest to bring people like this to justice? Being that you're the victim here, and all.
[What else can you say in this situation, really? Fuck this. Fuck them. But all Rean can really do about it right now is snuggle up here, promise Ash that they're all here for him. That they love him, that they're the ones who should be afraid.
Rean really, really hopes he can keep that promise. He'll never forgive himself if he can't.]
You don't need to apologize. If any of us were in your shoes, I'm pretty sure we would be in just a bad a place, if not worse. It's okay to not be okay, you know?
I know it. There's a whole lot of weird you're going to adjust to, even if it takes a long time. I'm just happy I'm lucky enough that I get to be here and see you through it.

I won't pretend I like either of you being involved with the Order, but I can't really deny they have the resources, here.

But the Order found them before they could get any of you. Which means we can fight back, this time.

And since I promised Elliot I wouldn't go and die again, I guess the only answer is that they're going to have to die instead.

[Rean, you are way too okay with this.]

Moving on.]
I mean, murder ain't a bad idea with these guys. Finding the labs, freeing the people, and burning them down maybe.
no subject
Working where those labs are out of this one guy might be a bit of a problem. But we'll see what we can do.
[Boyfriend what can soundproof rooms for torture...
...Rean, when did you go so far off the deep end? When did you all go so far off the deep end? Your player is starting to side with Ash, here.]

Good. Just...fuck, Rean.
