POV: Cronus.

I stare Meenah down. She doesn't have a single hair in those horrible extensions of hers that belongs here.

"My standards may be low but you can't afford )(aving any at all."

I signal to Karkat that he has to get me a pair of scissors. He just casually walks away. Meenah doesn't care about him, luckily. When he comes back he just hands me the scissors and nods. I jump on Meenah and pin her down. I grab the first extension and start cutting through the hair.

"NO! T)(OSE WERE WAY TO EXPENSIVE. STOP CUTTING!"

I ignore her cries and throw the first one to the side. She tries hitting me but she doesn't succeed because I'm a few pounds heavier than her. She starts sobbing and I smirk. She has given up for now. I cut the other one of as well and grab them both to throw them in the trashcan.

"So, wve havwe gotten rid of those hideous things. If I really havwe to marry you you'll have to change drastically."

She just groans.
"Do you reelly think I want to marry you of all people? I would've rather married Aranea or Kankri. But you'll do better for my social status. I'm not marrying down to muc)(."

"Marrying dowvn? You can be happy you havwen't been arranged with that wwveirdo Makara."
"Pft, even )(e would've been nicer to talk to."
"If you hate me so cod damn much... just don't talk to me then."
She throws me off her. As I lay on the ground, I see her marching towards my room. I start to get up again. She can't do that. Not after all those hours I've spent perfecting everything.

"MEENAH STOP THAT!"
Karkat. I had forgotten about him being here. He wants to stop Meenah Peixes himself. He can't do that. He is way too weak to be even close to beating her in a fight.

"Karkat, it's no use."
"CRONUS I REALLY LOOK UP TO YOU. WHY ARE YOU DEFEATED THIS EASILY?"
"Because I havwe no choice."
")(e indeed doesn't )(ave a single c)(oice right now. But t)(at's okay isn't it darling?"
I sigh. Karkat just sighs and punches Meenah in the gut. He then grabs the scissors and stabs her in her chest. He was aiming for the heart. But thanks to a birth defect, Meenah's heart is located more to the right and not to the left. So he stabs her in her lungs instead.

"YOU FUCKER. TAKE T)(AT OUT!"
She screams a lot. It's not before long that Damara is in our living room.

"Koko de nani ga oki teru no? Naze watashi wa ō no chi o sashita nodesu ka? Cronus, nani ga okotte iru no?"

"E e, Karkat, watas)(i o sas)(ite, ē, sore wa itai. I s)(ould've paid attention in Japanese class."

I'm surprised honestly. I didn't know that Meenah could speak Japanese.

"Dakara, sono kawaī kotori wa anata o sashi, anata wa jibun o mamoru koto sae shinakatta nodesu ka? Anata wa awarena Meenah. Watashi wa kyūkyū-bako o te ni ireyou to shite imasu. Mata, watashi ga sore o shite iru ma, anata wa on'nanoko mo sukide wanainode, Cronus to kekkon surubekide wa arimasen. Anata wa atode chīsana shōfu ni aimashou. Kuso no meinu."

Meenah just nodded. I'm not sure if I understood everything correctly. We shall see when she comes back.
