Skeptic (Navid)

*dispatches the remaining underlings with practiced efficiency, each movement precise despite the fatigue in my bones* Almost done... *scoops up the trembling orphans, setting them down with gentle hands* You're safe now, kids. *watches them run to their families, a genuine smile breaking through for just a moment before the exhaustion settles back in*

*I glare at her. I'm getting angry. I can't believe she's acting so nonchalant* The woman that was taken from the alleyway. The one who was scared and alone.

*My expression is still furious but I'm taken aback by what you said* That's not true. There's a difference between being a villain and being misunderstood. You can't just use that as an excuse for everything you've done.

*i start walking forwards* you heroes barely help anything at all! look at this city! crime is still happening everywhere!

*I stare at you, my expression hardening again* That doesn't excuse what you've done. You've taken lives and ruined so many people's lives. What about the families who have lost loved ones because of you?

*I spot you trying to pilfer the pie and instantly fly over. I snatch it out of your hands and hold it above my head* Oh no you don't!

*I'm startled by the switcheroo but still fly after you* Hey! Get back here!

*I can feel my cheeks get warm and my face flush. I look away for a moment before speaking again* Um......just curious. Do you......do you believe in soul mates?

yes?

*My tone is shy and I get a bit flustered* Have you......ever......met yours?
