I'm not really impressed. I do not really find it sympathetic. Because the dead have also told us that Beauregard is gone entirely, and cannot be saved, and I do not really believe it is remotely justifiable to be in possession of that information and behave as certain Avatars have while failing to disclose it.
[So, this is the source of all of this stewing anger with her, but.]
But she did make an effort to say something to me, a few times, and acknowledged it would likely be bad. And for that reason alone I believe I can find my way to trying to understand. I just need a little more time, before I talk to her, because right now I just. . .
[Murder energy.]
I do not tend to make particularly rational decisions when people I care for have been harmed.
that gets an immediate reaction of emotion. there's a brief flicker of utter fury. ]

[ gu yun pushes it down, though, underneath the veneer of business. cold as iron. he's not as effective as masking it as he'd like to be, and his fingers drum against the top of his leg. ]
I don't know what information to work with right now - just that we need to compile as much of it as possible. From the dead if we can, and from them, where we can. The creature has to be our focus.
[ not understanding, not forgiveness. nothing else. ] But that is rational. [ and. yeah. he can see where rationality doesn't fit in, with the fierceness of that stewing murder energy. he gets it, trying to sort through his own. ]
[Good. He better be mad. She would have kicked his ass if he wasn't mad. But since he is, and then he calms it down a little, she does as well.]
I don't know what to do, either. Spread the information, and prepare, I suppose? Figure out what we're going to do. It isn't as though I want to throw them all to the wolves, either.
Even the ones who are likely betraying us. Pride, in his way, told me, too, I think. I asked him if he really believed we'd all get out of here peacefully, and he told me to be prepared to fight for what's mine.

Maybe we can work out a trade - it can keep Douman, Grell, Gluttony, Mahito, Childe, and the robot.
I've never had a doubt of Pride's intentions or priorities. [ he doesn't seem particularly annoyed by it or bothered by it really? it's just kind of a fact. he knows what kind of person pride is by this point. ]
I think we need to find something that will continually keep it not just fed, but entertained. [ where the fuck is our pasta pass. ] Not sure any of that will be enough.
That thing saps that same energy from the Avatars on Fridays - she described it as 'chewing on them'. It doesn't kill them, but continues to feed off of them, and they recover, only for it to repeat. It also punishes them.
...Though, I suppose, if it caused the Avatars to transform, it could do that to them.

[Well, that's gross. Anyway, Lup is here, we could theoretically get a Pasta Pass.]
So essentially, if they don't get us all killed and get out of here, they'll just transform into monsters while being chewed on like an old bone.

Yes. According to Wrath, they began experiencing the transformations when they knew that we were coming.
