You are still Zeldris.

You fight your way to the dais.

Y/n flinches at the sight of you.

Are you covered in blood?

No.

Seeing you, your father stands.

Escanor barrels into him and moves him away from you and y/n.

You approach y/n so you can focus on freeing her. A look of terror crosses her features.

"Please..." she sobs, "please don't hurt me again."

What does she mean? You've never...

Grayroad.

She must have taken your form to torment y/n.

You'll kill her for this.

You murmur whatever comforting things spring into your head as you untie her. You aren't paying attention to exactly what you're saying. And then you hear yourself saying something you weren't prepared to say. Sure, you'd felt it. And you'd thought about saying it. And you'd decided to wait until she said it first even though the phrase had been threatening to bubble up from the bottom of your hearts and out of your mouth since you burned yourself bringing her the salt hula hoop. You try to stop yourself but it's too late.

"I love you. I won't let anyone hurt you again."
