CW: Murder.
You make a gesture at your friends, signaling to them to lower their defenses.
Tiles: It's a reflection of me, that's for sure. Much more leaning on the executioner side... and very driven.
Gallows: You trust her that easily?
Tiles: None of us are in danger, she's lost just as much as I have from what it sounds like. And…
You look your counterpart directly in the eyes.

Tiles: I sincerely doubt she's the sort to take more away from me if she doesn't need to. We're just the sort to make those who have taken people from us bleed.
Though faceless, the mirror form gives you a little chuckle. You can feel her almost smiling despite the lack of face.
???: Well said. I accept it.
???: Tell me this though, what would you do if I didn’t?
Tiles: Though I’d rather not, I’d be plenty willing to fight you. I’ll do what I must to get the job done.
???: Hmm… Do you know what happens to those slain by their doppleganger?
Tiles: I’ve heard stories of being replaced but..
???: Your body is taken and you are left in the mirror but… Do you trust me knowing that?
Tiles: I don’t sense malicious intent from you. And I outnumber you.
???: You certainly do. Regardless, I don’t think it’ll come to that. Feel like things are in good hands. Besides, if you’re like me then well… you know how lonely it’s been.
Tiles: Mm..
???: I am happy you’ve found some new friends recently though. Courier and Gallows I believe?
Courier: We just met but we’re hoping she’ll stay in our group.
Gallows: Likewise, she has a good energy… though perhaps a big clumsy.
Tiles: I didn’t expect to overshoot that badly…
Gallows: I mean we’ve all done it, they’re spellbuckers. The giant rats of the angel variety as some would say.
He looks over at Courier.

Courier: Yeah…. Yours was probably the worst though.
Gallows: I don’t want to think about it… that poor bat.
Tiles: Bat?
He shakes his head at you.
Your mirror counterpart gestures you to get closer, leaning in to whisper something.
???: So… you managed a date too?
Tiles: I was in a room and everyone was blushing left and right… I couldn’t help it.
???: Understandable. Cute for a sword… you know if you’re not going to go after the rabbit though I might call dibs.
Gallows’ ears rose and he immediately pretended not to notice.

Your mirror friend gives him a playfully flirty wave, he tries to hide the pink on his face.
Tiles: Heh… anyway so…
???: Sorry to derail.
Tiles: What can we call you?
???: Perhaps the name you’ve discarded while on your quest? Tutor and Tiles sounds like a nice pair.
Tiles: Mm… I’m not using it at the moment so it’d be fine for now I think.
Tutor: Than Tutor it is.. It’s cathartic to be able to call myself that honestly.
Tiles: I wish I could myself but… it’s not the name I want the crown to fear.
Tutor: To give up your name for the sake of your fallen family…
Tiles: I do what I have to.
Gallows: H-hate to interrupt but… we need to get through…
Tutor: Mm… you’re free to but I have to warn you of something.
Tiles: Is everything alright?
Tutor: I’m not sure, there’s someone in the corner lurking though… I think he wants his turn to talk.
Tutor scoots to the side to allow you to get a clear view of the most bastardly person you’ve seen in a bit.

???: I’ve just got business to attend to before I can let you go but… I know you’re all in a rush right now so I’ll just walk with you.
Gallows grimaces
Gallows: Not today Eddie…
Eddie: The man of blades, the banished prince.
Hero of a forbidden land.
Stormed the castle to free the crown.
Couldn’t afford to let them down.
Reached the top to slay the king.
Slew brother
Slew father
Slew the goddess too.
Back torn by his sword.
Flesh coiled by her graft.
For when split between two sides.
He chose the people he loved most.
Gallows: Why are you doing this?
Eddie: You can’t pretend to have never known what you’ve lost. You can’t bury me with the rest of your hurt. Have at me, or I’ll drag the whole group into this.
