I'll Always Be Your Battle

THEN

"We need to talk about J."
"There Is Nothing To Say, Cassandra."
"So, what, you're just going to give up on our brother?"
"You And Roman Made That Decision For Us."

******************************
Now

You again.
Hello, Sister.
Well, well, aren't you just the Mister's?
He doesn't control me!
Keep lying to yourself, Cassie.
Shut up! I'm in charge now!
Are you? You're barely functioning.

The Library
Wait, wait, wait, Mister--
Listen Child,
I can't cuz that sounds silly as a goose!
She Is Her Noose.

The Volcano
I don't see what you want me to do about it, T.
She Is Your Sister, Roman, Help Me.
Help you?
You Owe Her.
I don't owe her anything. None of you.

The Office
Remember the trauma?
Fuck you, Cassandra!
Sweat you like in the sauna.
I am living my life, can you blame me?
You tarnished my life, Cassie.
Shut up.
Don't be sassy.
*************************
C4r3 t0 h3lp h3r?
Of course, she's going to ruin us all.
0r ru1n y0u?
I'm the one that got tricked!
Wh4t d1d y0u 3xp3ct?
If you're supposed to be "the fixer," then why haven't you fixed her?
N0t h0w 1t w0rk5, P4t13nt #14.
​Sounds like an excuse, Doc.

The Theater

Where is she, Twins?

Tis some visitor, tapping at our chamber doors--is it Cassie or Cassandra, and nothing more?

Stop the nonsense, I need to find her,

Madam, truly your forgiveness, We implore!

Stop fucking around, no more!

Nevermore!
Nevermore!

The Island

Hermano!
Hermana...
I need your help, where is she?
Tu hablas de tu otra cara?
You know what I'm speaking of, la separada, la otra hermana.
I have no purpose anymore, nothing but vengeance,
to find whoever killed Pharaoh,
and show him true Penance.

Your scent--aroma,
it isn't the same--
Tu sabes, no? Lymphoma.

The Pyramids
Still so empty,
Seker? Where are you?
***No Response***
I know you're only supposed to observe,
but I need you now,
Please, my memory,
help me preserve?

Somewhere Inside The Aether

HURR HURR SHOULD WE TAKE A BREAK, CASSANDRA?
No, Vlad, we have to keep going--I know that bitch is in here somewhere.

And Sam. I know he's keeping her one step ahead of us. That fucker.

HRMM SAMHAIN WILL BE HARDER TO KILL THIS TIME, YES?

I know, Vlad. But we've killed a lot of slashers before. He's just going to become another scratch tally on my baseball bat.
HURR HURR YES ANOTHER!
​Let's keep looking--she has to be close.
