The final curtain closes over an empty stage. Beyond the set, the bright lights, the audience; a single performer continues the act. @innocent_baby_maniac gave their side. Mine is going to be.. similar. But unique to theirs. In that mine... IS CORRECT. I was ambitious. And ambition is typically viewed in a positive light. My creativity allowed me to put my ideas into action, with only a few limitations. One of those.. limiting factors, was my laboratory partner. IBM. They failed to see the merit in my creative endeavours, built to rival our enemies. I'd use their tech in my creations, finding it amusing and ironic that perhaps it would be possible to take them down with their own work. But IBM was forever insistent on not 'stooping'. They couldn't see the light so I needed to show them true darkness so it would become more apparent... My breath caught in my throat as I revelled in the act I had committed. I had felt a spark of joy from pushing them, backstabbing them.. betraying them. I began to crave more of this delicious feeling... Who could I target next? I had no close allies. No friends. But there was another who I didn't trust to support my work. Despite being IBM's polar opposite, DBM was also not keen on my plans. Therefore, they needed to be disposed of in a similar manner. Who's next? Who can I take advantage of? Manipulate? I don't care if I'm the bad guy! I NEED MORE! My power is inherently bad. Perhaps that was my downfall. I was only ever destined to take from others for my own gain. I betrayed my colleague. My group. My allies. My boss. The Gods themselves look down on me in disdain. Then they came to me. Right as rain. The idea of them being well had driven me half to madness. I needed them GONE. If they could come back, who knows what else could've been waiting to strike.. take revenge... That.. man. That man of fear. He knows too many things about me. He sees my fears; speaks to them. Terry. I'm not scared of him. But he knows what does scare me. (This may've been a little messy. I'm not a writer at heart, so I just made this to be from my character's perspective. I would recommend @innocent_baby_maniac / @d________baby_maniac's two part explanation as they're better at writing than me.)
