The song suddenly and abruptly changes
"...I never loved nobody fully...always one foot on the ground..."
~Annie rolls her eyes and starts walking past~
Mela: ...Dari?
Her voice sounds super broken and vulnerable
"No."
Mela: I-I-it's you! You-you're...the one who did this to me...or did...did I do this to myself...I-I don't...
"Yeah. I'm the one who did it. And you're the one who ALMOST KILLED ME! It was a reflex. Not my fault."
Mela: I...almost killed you...oh-I guess I ate some of your spirit...sorry... it's-it's how I survive...
"And you didn't have ANYONE else's soul to eat? I lost so much of my power bc of you. I need to keep myself alive using potions bc of you! And you say sorry. There are billions of living creatures in the forest. I don't think a sorry is enough."
Mela: ...I can't...I can't eat other yokais...
"Not everything out there is a Yokai Mela... There are proper beasts you know."
(REEEE)
