I think that, um, with all those portals being closed, that's the last of the things that the Door brought through. I can't sense anything else, anyway.

Whew!!! What a crazy couple of weeks! You guys were all real troopers for hanging in there with us. I really thought we might be able to send you home!

I'd say "drinks are on me", but they kind of always are... so stop by for some drinks if you want! I've got some Delight shots ready to serve up too if any of you want to party all night with me!!! It's gonna be really fun, okay? We can forget all about that weird Door/demon/disaster stuff for awhile and just have a good time.

I'm already looking forward to it!

Yes.

[She knows that Sharon will be smug about it, but that's not a good enough reason to lie, in Delight's mind. She can be smug all she likes- she doesn't know.]

Like being ripped apart. Into pieces too small to be pieces anymore.

[ The knowledge sparks a small measure of delight. Good. There are few things she enjoys more than knowing her enemies have suffered and will suffer more in the future. ]

Why would something want to do that to you?

Because.

[She can feel Sharon's happiness, which is kind of hurtful, but- well, at least it's power.]

I create Delight. Love creates love. Rage creates rage.

[ Hurtful is good. ]

You don't create anything real. [ Sharon sees manipulation of previous memories, the forceful push of emotions that aren't her own, but never are any of those feelings real. Not in her mind. ] What does it seek by killing you all? What does that accomplish for it? Does it hate emotions? Or does it just hate manipulative assholes?

I know you think that, because you're angry and you're cruel, but it isn't true for everything. What we create is real enough that we are hunted down to end it.
