And into the story!

--Lucina POV--
--Inside Lucina's Dreams--
The other Lucina stepped towards me, a twisted smile on her face. She narrowed her eyes as she came up close to me, making me recoil and gulp.

She was an exact copy of me! How was this possible?

???: Well, well, well... Hello, Lucina...

She kicked the now motionless body of Y/N, making me feel like throwing up. Y/N... devoid of life... it was sickening... I turned away, unable to even look at the ghastly sight, but my twin grabbed me and turned me around.

???: Don't look away... You can't escape death...

I whimpered as my gaze once again fell on him, but this time, I couldn't turn away. Something kept my eyes glued to the lifeless lump he had become.

Lucina: Who... Wh-who are you?

???: Isn't it obvious? I'm you.

I shook my head, in an attempt to deny it, as my twin giggled insanely, crouching down to touch Y/N.

Lucina: No... Y-You can't be me...

???: On the contrary- I'm the real you.

She started caressing Y/N's hair, igniting the fury inside me. I pushed her away.

Lucina: D-Don't you dare touch him!

She got up, apparently unfazed, and continued talking, in a voice creepily similar to mine.

???: Don't you feel something burning inside of you? Like a desire, wanting to get out.

I gulped as she pointed a finger to my chest.

???: Let it out, Lucina. Become the person you were meant to be.

As she spoke those words, I felt something deep in my bones get ignited. It was a similar feel to when that voice spoke in my head. I felt it spread throughout my body, taking control of me.

It poured into my mind, like a disease-ridden liquid, emptying all of my thoughts. Within a moment, I understood. The world was... flawed. People shouldn't be allowed to live, because they would spend every day of their lives worrying about death. It would be better just to kill them, swiftly and surely, to make them happy.

Y/N coughed. He was still alive... But the joy I should've felt at that never came. To me, he was just another brick in the wall. Another brick in the wall that needed tearing down. I felt my feet come over to his struggling body.

???: Yes. YES!

I raised the sword that had appeared in my hands high. In that moment, everything felt... right. As if I was meant to do this...

Y/N: L-Lucina... D-Don't do th- aah!

He cried out in pain as I stabbed him through the heart. The little life he had left in him fluttered away. I pulled my sword out of him, satisfied. My twin came up to me, attempting to suppress a laugh. I started chuckling along with her. 

Soon, we were both laughing out loud, in front of Y/N's body. I couldn't control myself. The strange power that was compelling me to laugh at Y/N's death had completely taken control of me.

All that mattered now was... making the world clean. Ridding it of the dirt that sullied it's hallowed grounds.

All of a sudden, I jerked out of bed, collapsing onto the floor. I laid there, panting and gasping for a few minutes, until I could feel my joints again. What... had just happened? I felt the poisonous desire inside of me drain out, my common sense returning. I-It was all a dream...
