...You chose completely the wrong person to fall for.
[Asuka swings sharply up to look at her other, less-amused-looking self from a sort of wilted position, shocked to hear such a thing.]
What?!
He almost killed you. He never bothered to look at you for more than two seconds to maybe acknowledge your presence out of sheer obligation when he had Johan around, and above all, he left you all behind, abandoned you only to later stab you in the back, and it may as well have been literally. Is that the kind of person you really want to try your hand at?
...It's...
And don't lie to me. I know you're going to lie to me.
[bitterly] ...Better yet, I won't listen to you at all. You're probably created from what someone somehow knows about me; you can't possibly know what I really think of any of my friends.
[A very cat-that-ate-the-canary smile follows.]
Oh, but I do. You think if you keep it low-key, everyone who expects nothing less than perfection of you -- your brother, your friends -- they won't even notice. And they don't, usually. But you know, and isn't that the important part? It'll tear you apart because you're letting it. You'd choose him over your friends, your career, your life, wouldn't you?
[irritably] ...No. I'm not that weak, as you seem to think I am.
But you still let him betray you, and all you could do was stand idly to the side and allow it to happen. So what will you do, now that you're just as helpless, that you can do nothing to help, and that you're being given a second chance you have no way of protecting? And what happens if you do manage to preserve yourself? You go home to die? Face it, you are in a lose-lose situation. So what do you plan to do about it?
[She ducks her head with a sigh...]
...Please, don't ask me that right now--
[...And then pales noticeably as she notices that her double must have turned the sphere on without her noticing. Gaping at her identical twin, a stare which soon becomes a withering glare, she snatches the sphere away and clicks it off, mortified.]
((OOC: I apologize for severe fail on my last post; as soon as I put it up, I went through an enormous episode of RP burnout, so... yeah. Not really an excuse, but I apologize nonetheless. :<))
