[The Witch of Misfortune can be easily found wandering around, mostly in the Master Bedroom. Though seems she'll easily stop whatever she's doing and chat with you, at least...]
[Even dying embers can be stoked into a fire once more. They just need plenty of tender care to grow like that.
Watanuki falls silent here, but he remains, holding onto Nirrti for as long as she needs. He understands the loneliness she must feel, and if he can help her with it, then he wants to help her. Maybe, by starting there, her heart can begin to heal. Just as his own heart has already been healing.]
[He lets her pull away, not chasing after her yet.]
...
[Watanuki knows what he wants to say, but he can't be the one to say it. She has to hear the words from a human and believe them for this all to come to an end.
But for now, he can prep her for it, and at least get her to open her ears to them.]
I can't say for sure. I know why I don't blame you, but I'm not Human anymore. My reasoning may not be in line with theirs.
But I suspect if you asked them and listened, they would have an answer for you. Humans are good at talking, if you give them the space to talk.

[She squeezes his hand, gently.]
...I am...relieved, but - for a moment, it...was enough to shake even my belief in myself.
Please...don't do it again. I...don't want to feel that pain again.
[She lowers her head, letting her hair curtain her face from view.
She could take so much pain, both mental and physically.
Yet, with her beginning to trust again...
In that moment, she was the most vulnerable she had ever been.]
no subject
So I won't say them again. But I still believe in you, Nirrti. And I don't want you to be lonely anymore.
no subject
[Her voice is harsh and angry on that - but she doesn't pull away.
Instead, she just...leans forward, curling her hand on the fabric of his chest.]
...I don't....want to be alone anymore, either.
no subject
You don't have to be. Even if you're not ready to open your heart to humans, I'm here. I'm here, and I won't be going anywhere.
no subject
[She doesn't say anything more than that, but she clutches at his back, breathing heavily.
In this moment, this is...quite frankly, the most tired and vulnerable he's ever seen her.
If she is normally a blazing fire, in this moment...she is nothing but dying embers.]

Are they....still trying to understand you? To understand us...?
no subject
...they're not all bad, Nirrti.
no subject
I am...hatred. Rage. Sorrow. Shadenfreude.
Even those pieces I get along with...are no more than interesting toys to me, to watch as they slowly break.
...Did you know? Anon was someone I feel kinship with, and yet...seeing him upset, my heart danced with delight and glee.
[She stops hugging him, and pulls away - her eyes still startlingly empty pits of darkness.]
....Why would they even attempt to embrace an abyss that delights in seeing them suffer...?
Why not...just blame me, and curse me like they did before - like how it has always happened?

[She's quiet for a moment, before closing her eyes.]
...I will...listen. But that is all I will do.
And I will watch, waiting to see them inevitably betray each other for their own piece of mind.
