<sub>[She'd been lucky enough to be spared the effects of the past three weeks. BUT SHE'S NOT SO LUCKY THIS TIME.]

[The video opens on her already walking hurriedly down a surburban Goldenrod street towards the downtown area. IF SHE JUST KEEPS MOVING, MAYBE SHE WON'T HAVE TO TALK TO ANYBODY ELSE TODAY.]

[But just in case, she's hoping she can stave off karma catching up with her by making a quick confession to the network.]</sub>

HEY.

So anyone who was here like a year ago and wondered about the weird black eye I had that one time?

I lied.

I didn't get it in a fight with a dude 'the size of Kentucky' like I claimed.

Actually, I just walked into a glass door because I was thinking about how much I wanted a Pumpka-spice latte from Sawsbucks and I was too embarrassed to tell anybody.

_{[The camera then turns abruptly to the sky.]}

THERE! You happy, weird Pokemon gods? I said something embarrassing! Now leave me alone!

<sub>[The video ends.]

[Spoiler alert: she is not going to be left alone.]</sub>

We all have those parts that we keep mostly to ourselves. I've gone through the same. I've opened myself to a handful of people, but most have returned to where they came from.

Our master...stirs many emotions. None of them pleasant.

I hate her!

<sub>[Heather's voice is suddenly full of vehement emotion-- she's been through like FIVE different emotions in this conversation alone, and now she looks angry. But she's meeting Lust's eyes, at least.]

[Being angry at Envy's mom and the Homunculi's collective slavemaster is a GREAT distraction from thinking about the whole fiasco that her infatuation with Lust had ended in.]</sub>

I almost want her to show up, so that I can kick her ASS!

I'd do that for ANY of you-- Envy, you, Greed. None of you are ever gonna have to go back to her ever!

You aren't alone. Though your vehemence is almost surprising.

But it's hardly worth the dealing with her. This world is too full of those who don't know her, and her skills of manipulation are too great. It wouldn't go well. The personal satisfaction pales in comparison.

Yeah, I know, I know. It surprised Envy too.

But I have my reasons, and also I'm pretty sure the personal satisfaction would be great.

I imagine you do.

I have my personal satisfaction, I suppose. I'm human. Envy and I are happy. I have Scar. I have the life she told me I could never have.

The best revenge is living well.

I was living well and mine still found a way to take it away from me.
