You're still thinking you need people in your life, huh? No you don't. Think about it. Every time you've tried living alongside someone, thinking you're cool and caring with them and everything, it's always backfired, hasn't it? You're content on your own, sweetheart. I've seen it. You're bothered by nearly everyone who talks to you when you're doing something, and comforting them for that really isn't your thing. You don't need people. You work best alone, and you should keep on with your own stride. No one can keep up with you, so why bother waiting for them?

Leiah, viper-based poison demon. Source of my coldness and, inevitably, my loneliness. Most of my speech patterns come from this demon, especially when under the influence of alcohol. I once believed every word she said to me, and for a time, it served me well. Though no matter how alluring the illusion of self-mastery may be over self control, I have lost many a good friend to this demon...
