[As she has each day for many years now, barring events creating impossibilities, or as most recently- and as she would have warned Elias herself- being on a field trip where even Gods would not reach- Reira comes down to the Arcade's hidden room to visit her friend, brother, and 'god'.
Really more the first two, but that seems to work just fine for them both.
As the days have ticked on by after successfully bringing back a creature from the Wastes however, Reira has been notably...wound up. Strung up. Tense. She's long since said bits and pieces about why- she long since said, even when the trip first went off, that she didn't think any of this would really work.
She just, also didn't like the idea of someone trying it alone and getting lost to the Wastes for their efforts.
(Or worse)
Reira comes in this particular day however and sighs. Just sighs, head in her hands, tired from another stretch of 'Bad Werewolf Watch'.]
....I have to kill it tomorrow I decided.
[Not think. Not suppose. Decided. She's known it was coming, but watching it this long has at least told her something terrifying about the Wastes and the beasts out there, and perhaps Elias can already guess what question is coming. By the sheer virtue of one largely raising the other, it's probably easy to tell what she'll say.]
...That fog out there- we know already it's not...hers anymore, [She starts, leaning her head against cables and closing her eyes like someone who's returned from the worst work day of their lives.]
...Will we ever be able to help them? Not...live. ...I watched this one...everyone thought they were 'people locked in', but it's not that...is it? ...This is just...who they are, now...
[It was smart. It was smart enough to work out locks and tricks and traps and if Tsukikage hadn't been an incredibly paranoid traps-maker they'd have already dealt with a breakout.]
...but will we ever be able to...let them sleep?
[Die, she means, but sleep feels nicer here. Better. More appropriate, and it's basically the same thing so it isn't a Lie.
Animals aren't smart like this thing is though, and it's...it's....
Reira shakes.] Elias..?
[She curls tight and small like she did when she was perhaps half as tall as this, and shakes.]
I'm scared.
[[OOC - Just to clarify something in advance- she does not need help killing the werewolf, she and the others have that in the bag.]]
