...I was told that what had happened to Nathan was going to happen to her, and that it was too late to stop it from happening by helping her indulge.

[she looks down]

I was also told that if that were to happen twice, it would be detrimental to the group as a whole.

[sistocracy]

Hmm. That does sound a bit elaborate, for a lie...

That's it, then? You killed her to save her?

[shiftingwinds]

...I killed her. If it turned out that she was saved because of it, then that's a good thing, but I'm not going to try and dress it up as something prettier than what it was.

[sistocracy]

I see...

And what about Ming Yi? Given the circumstances, some of us were starting to wonder if the two of you were a murderous power-couple all along! [she chuckles. that's funny!]

Did you know about what he did?

[shiftingwinds]

[she shakes her head]

I didn't know.

[sistocracy]

Really.

Did you know he was capable of such a thing?

[shiftingwinds]

...not at first. I saw something in his memories that made me realize he might have been capable of it, but...

[her brow furrows]

He never told me... so I thought he didn't.

[sistocracy]

... You really didn't know.

[she's been pushing, but here she'll finally relent and give her a moment to breathe.]

What did you see, that made you think that?

[shiftingwinds]

I really didn't.

[head empty to the extreme. me, dying inside when she came so close to guessing it but was immediately convinced that she was wrong.]

...he's from further ahead in time than I am. [which she also didn't realize until she saw the memory, saw that she featured in it, and had no corresponding memory of it herself.] There was a... confrontation, between him, and my brother, and me. [her brow furrows] ...what I saw felt - disjointed, so I don't think I saw the whole thing.

...but because of what my brother did to him, centuries ago, he was made to suffer in my place, and he became what he is today. [...] He's... consumed ghosts, to absorb their power, in the past. But since we don't have our powers here, I thought...

[...that it wouldn't really be a thing?

but as it turns out you don't need powers to cannibalize someone.]
