Delusional

"For Once, he's finally showing some Decency!" the wicked red haired woman would grin. Set before her, on top a puddle on the ground, lay His cloak. "You're finally learning exactly how to treat a woman! How's it feel?"1

'A woman, this harpy? Burn her alive!'
'We must obey her, though. This is the duty of... Love.'
'It's Love when I say so, siren!'2

He walked onwards, leaving His discarded cloak behind. A shirt bore none against the winter cold, but precious time and chill would only have a Slow effect on His flesh, while he followed the "clickity-clack" of her heels marching on. That's where his gaze would fixate.3

'You can afford a woman Any luxuries affordable, in the name of Love'
'...Or we could have roast beast for a healthy year.'
'Tame yourself, shrew. No Man can ever bring forth enough Quality to His woman.'
'I can think of one quality of hers I'd like to see roasting on a spit...'4

"You retarded... Darling! You've left your cloak behind"
"I will be in good health, if we make haste"
"Darling... enough's enough. You're no good to me Dead, you know."5

'Except for a fine meal and happy hour...'
'Hush, shrew!'6

"Would you die for me, Fiona?"
"Of Course Not!"7

'...Forgive her. Forgive her, a woman under Love's true influence, may still not know her words...'
'Hehe... I bet you enjoyed That, little hexing witch. Or maybe she meant Exactly what she said?'8

"...Do you mean that?"
"Yes. And you'll understand when you're older. Now hurry up, Mr. Make-Haste... We're going to miss the Theater!"9

'... Perhaps this is a lesson for Him. His woman always before Himself.'
'Are you having fun, trying to read Sounds with Eyes?'
' There is always an answer in the name of Love. You must simply find it.'
'You're shitting me. That's probably the only Right thing this harpy's said all Night!'
' ?! You... Agree with her, then? '
' Of course! It means, should worst comes to worst... We'll be the ones finishing her off! '
'... Filthy Shrew. '
' False Siren.'10

"Fiona Shaw. And this is William Thead. We're supposed to have reserved seats? Row A, seats Seven and Eight, or something?"
" Six and Eight. Here are your tickets, then: Enjoy the show."11

' Tch. Why on earth would they pay a week's salary to see "Taming of the Shrew" here?!'
' Heh... It has your name in it, dearest.'
' If there were a way to carve you out, with His pocket knife, I'd-! '
' Still.. this doesn't seem right. She's going to drive Him into complete poverty. '
' Like she's going to live long enough to do it...! '
' It makes no sense. Why drain Him until He can no longer bring her happiness? '
' Because she's going to do what's only natural. Find another love, during another life. '
' She's.... she's crying. '
' Woohoo! Grab the knife! '12

"I... I'm so sorry, love. I don't know what came over me, okay? I only thought... I only thought I'd make you happy before I go."
"Shh... The rest of the theater will hear. Please be well..."
"...I can't do that! The headaches are getting stronger... I can't control it. "
"The most important thing is that I love you."13

'Glad we can both agree on that, shrew. '
' I can't stand to see the bitch go...'14

" And... And I love You too. Hopefully... one day.. You'll see that, Will. I'm sorry."15

' There, ya see, siren? Ten years, and she spat it out.'
' I... I don't comprehend. '16

" You... Loved me?"
" Some day, William. I pray for you... whatever goes on in that head of yours. I pray you'll understand. someday. "17

' HAHAHA! Are you hearin' this, Siren? How's that? How's that for salt over open wounds? That's called Feelings. That's called Pain! '
' I don't understand... Why would she not take her own life, as the Samurai do? This brings nothing but pain...'
' You just don't fucking get it at all, do you? '18

" Please... Stop this..."
" I know Will! I know they're screaming in your head. Mine were too. I'm free, Will. I finally understand what Love is..."
"Why are you doing this? The theater is watching... "
"Fuck them, Will. We're our own show. "19

' She... doesn't wish to relinquish. She's bringing them both misery. '
' Ha! This is Gold... She's a drama Whore! Got a taste of it, first time in her life... '20

"Take your own life."
"What?"
"You're in pain. I can't stand you in pain. Take your own life, or take mine. "
"Will..."
"In the name of Love..."21

'She has the blade. He's right there. Why... Why won't she Use it?'
' Hahahahahahaha.... '22


"...No Will."
" No?"23

' She's Smiling?! '
' ....hahahahahaaha...'
' Shut up, Shrew! She's broken... completely and utterly broken... Smiling in pain. '
' She's not broken. '24

" I'm in Love, Will."
" Then why? Why would you bring misery to us both? Why, bring your Love needless pain, and keep breathing? "
"I'll keep breathing until this world takes me Will. I promise you. "
" You're absurd! "
" No Will. I Was. It's clear to me now. The voices, they've stopped..."
"... Your nose is bleeding..."
"Will... do you love me? "
" Of course I do! I can't stand to see you like this... "
" Then I will never take my own life. "25

' You could learn a lesson from this Siren. '
' She's delusional. She's not putting His will ahead of her own, yet claims love. '
' That's because she's in True Love. '
' No, He is. She's demanding mercy. We will show mercy '26

"I'm sorry, Fiona. "
" ...I... love you... W-"27

'Now look at what you've done. You got His blade all bloody! '
' It's the blood of her betrayal. '
' ...You will never learn, Siren... never learn... '
' Learn what? True Love? If she had any consideration for Him, She'd be dead long ago. The wretched fiend only let Him pour all His funds into herself. '
' ... To see if she'd give Him One Iota of happiness. '
' You're too late, Shrew. And it's no wonder your absurdities led to your Death. '
' Or why yours they led to your Own, Siren. Or your own... '
' At least He will have another Chance, now. '28

'Hey, gals. So... What're we talking about? '29
