[well. she's an undead, so she supposes she should stand up for zombies, but... she wouldn't fault someone for defending herself.]

Of course it was. I do think part of being a leader is being willing to protect the people relying on you, even if it's painful. You needn't feel ashamed of your instincts to defend yourself and others.

If something happens to me, they'll start running the same tests on the others.

[undread]

Exactly. You need to keep yourself safe, too, for the sake of the people relying on you.

... It still didn't feel good. Killing someone.

It was too easy.

[undread]

If you don't mind my saying so, it doesn't seem as though it's all that easy for you. The fact that you're struggling with it even now suggests otherwise.

[killies]

Maybe. [ unconvinced. ]

[ashlyn...]

Well. It's alright to worry about it. Perhaps I am more used to violence.

[killies]

I'm used to violence when it's against the phantoms.

[nodding.]

But I imagine it feels a little different than fighting people.

[killies]

Yeah. They're not people. They're just mindless and always have been, so it doesn't really feel like anything.
