I had walked towards the group. Slowly, but surely. Sneakily, yet obvious. I never thought I would have dreaded this.

I have expected this since before I even showed myself. Yet, why does this feel different?

Why does this feel human?

But I concealed anything that had put me off. This was now. And if I screwed this up, I couldn't go back. Too many memories to wipe clean.

"You show your face after all this?" Quackity asked, disapproval and amusement lacing his words.

"I am no coward." I spoke slowly, allowing for the rest who haven't seen my face to seep in the scene.

"Why'd you do it?" I heard Niki speak from the crowd.

A small uproar of agreement came with her words. They all wanted the same answer.

And there would be a few ways to do this. I could tell them the long truth, allowing for them to make their own choices. But they didn't have the patience.

I could tell them my side, but a few of them would never accept it, asking unrelated questions. Downing me, rather than solving the oncoming situation.

I don't have to answer. I could let them sit in their curiosity. Frustration. Madness.

I could leave. Just walk away from the situation completely. But I already came.

I could kill them all clean, but where's the fun in that?

"Why did L'Manberg citizens hate Eret? Why did Puffy and other feel disliking towards Hannah? Why did Tommy dislike Techno?" As each new name came up, the now that began paying attention.

"They were all betrayed." I heard Tubbo's whisper from the crowd for the first time.

Keep it in.

"He betrayed you?" Tommy asked in disbelief.

"How?"

"Foolish did betray me and my people. We gave him temples and gold and blood and so, so much more." I said with a scoff. "And he gave us suffering and separates us from our humanity. I was once human, before I was mercilessly slaughtered by the hands of that god. And he threw me to this, making us different." A motioned to everything. They think they've known pain.

What happened to the equality? What happened to not choosing a side until all were said?

I wasn't human. And I never would be again. So is that it?

Was every decision I made up until this point to protect my species correct? All the times I was told to act otherwise, and I was correct the whole time?

I guess you never really can trust a human.

"You... you were human?" Puffy made herself shown from the crowd.

I nodded, a half smirk on my face.

"Yes, but more dedicated to what my life was than any of you would ever be. Imagine Tubbo without Tommy or Ranboo. Imagine Dream without George or Sapnap. Imagine Karl without the feral boys. Now imagine all the humans of this server, and imagine if they were all put through a death full of suffering, to be thrown away from everything they've ever loved. They don't deserve it, do they?" I said, trying to make them realize.

Maybe one day, they could see that I was correct in this. Most times, people have their own story wrong, becoming biased upon their own lives.

But when you've had over a thousand years to hold a grudge, think it over, consider everything, and try every possible way to solve it, you'd have the right answer.
