Macha seduces with the sweet trap

[drainheart]

[Such a persistent little gnat, that Morgan fellow. Lily ignored him for as long as he could, knowing his influence on his precious flowers may very well throw a wrench into his plans. For obvious reasons, that could not be allowed to happen.

But it's with his renewed purpose — or perhaps the only purpose he's ever known — as Macha that Lily has begun to see the man in a new light. It suits him, doesn't it? The drive to understand love at any cost while being woefully unable to experience true love himself.

That's why, as what remains of Morgan becomes smaller and smaller, Lily appears before him once more in his dreams. Taking the form of a young boy, Morgan is finally granted an audience with the mysterious DV he's fixated on for weeks. Rather, Macha does.]

Ah, there you are... Macha. "Long time no see"! Or should I be saying "nice to meet you"?

( His ear flicks when the sensation of faint stinging registers, but not by much if it's hampered gently between Lily's fingers. His brows furrow, uncertain of the pinky promise offered here.

It's because he knows that pain is the foundation of each phase that he didn't expect it to go over easy with Lily - but it was something he was willing to argue for. Lily simply agreeing is... surprising. His tail flicks, unsure - or maybe a little suspicious. )

... Do you?

( He says, like he needs it reiterated. But... he does lift his hand, tentatively hooking his pinky with Lily's. )

[Macha is right to be suspicious, but it doesn't matter if he doubts him or believes him. Hooking his pinky around Macha's, Lily gives it a nice, firm shake, but there's nothing reassuring about his promises. There never is.]

Of course. And when I break my promise, you won't feel a thing. Not even anger. Not even sadness.

[As he releases Macha from their pinky promise, Lily begins to flicker and fade, pixels and chunks of code breaking off his person and flitting away.

All dreams must come to an end some day. One day, Macha will wake up and know nothing of his former life. One day, he'll know only his purpose, finally equipped with a reason to exist and a role to fulfill. That day swiftly approaches, and before Macha knows it, he'll finally know what true happiness looks like.]

Perform your duties well, dear Macha. Only then will Tarvos be yours to do with as you please. His fate rests in your hands.

[No matter how much Macha might grab or claw at him, his fingers will pass straight through him. Eventually, Lily fades away entirely, leaving Macha's dream draped in shades of grey and black.]
