wip wednesday
“Being haunted by Johnny is one thing, but being possessed?” She shook her head. “There’s no cutting they could ever do to get him out. They’ll never trust me again. They’ll say the person you made that promise to is dead, and they wouldn’t be wrong.” She smiled crookedly. “I don’t want that, Goro. I never wanted that.”
He hadn’t thought she would ever actually say it out loud. She’d spent all her time shacked up with Takemura telling him what he wanted to hear and being an obedient little cog. Maybe she did have some backbone after all, even if it was just looking for an excuse to die. At least she wanted to do it on her own terms. He could work with that.
Takemura, on the other hand, looked like he’d just been slapped. “That will not happen.”
“If I survive whatever it is they plan to do with me, I’d be a lab rat for the rest of my life. They’re never going to let the only halfway successful test of the relic tech walk free.” V was calm and detached, like she was talking about someone else.
“V–“
“The decision is made,” she interrupted, standing abruptly. He could have held onto her, but he didn’t, letting her brush off his hands. “You can either accept it, or not.”
She walked away without waiting for his answer, although if Johnny had to guess she didn’t want to hear him either way. That was why she’d said it like it was some verdict handed down from God: the decision is made. More corpo doublespeak bullshit. Her favorite technique for distancing herself from everything she didn’t want to think about.

@bluntforceyearning thank you so much for tagging me! I don't always do tag games (I read them but I don't write) but today is a good day :D
Three Ships: I am so bad at this! But I really like Harwin StrongxRhaenyra Targaryen and, but I'm also a basic Daemyra bitch. An older ship of mine is PhantomxChristine. (Death and the Maiden vibes)
First Ship Ever: I don't usually care for ships. However, I never in my life shipped harder than for Daemon and Rhaenyra 😂 Their relationship made me understand the power of the SHIP
Last Song: Χαράματα, Klavdia (it came up on an insta story of a friend and now it's stuck on my mind!)
Last Movie: Phantom Thread (2017), a slightly weird and obsessive aesthetic masterpiece

Currently Playing: Cyberpunk 2077 (2.0 Update here we go babyyy)
Currently Watching: The Series "The Chosen One". I'm not religious but the storytelling is GOOD and I'm tearing up at every. single. episode! Not to mention, seeing stories you already know depicted so well is something else!
