Is it wrong?

"Hey, Jaune! Long time no see! did you lock yourself out again?"

"Oh uh... Oh no got it!" Jaune fumbles.

"So where have you been lately?" Ruby asked.

Exu walks by and looks Jaune up and down... "Weakness disgusts me..." Exu continues walking away and heads for the exit of Beacon.

{AWESOME! You said one of my favorite lines Exu!} Jason excitedly yells.

'Quiet Teacup ghost!' Exu continues walking away while occasionally taking glances at Blake who is following her.

"Um... Uh... Don't worry about Sapphire... She is um... I don't know where I was going with that but just don't let it get to you..." Ruby grimaces.

Exu arrives at a safe house and gears up looking like some sort of specter from some R-rated Fantasy assassin movie... A little kitty has been following her the whole time.

"...So... Your Exusiai aren't you..." Blake takes a seat at the empty table.

"I knew you were following me the whole time... I don't understand why you foolishly decided to come so close to a monster like myself... I was curious... So I let you follow me here..." Exu turns around and tilts her head slowly just like Malthael in the Diablo 3 Trailer which scared Blake a little.

"You aren't a monster..." Blake says with clarity in her eyes.

"You know nothing..." Exu growls out.

"I know you're the girl I like and want to date... I know your favorite food... I know your favorite music... I know your favorite books... But most importantly... You aren't a monster..." Blake is now face-to-face with Exu close enough to feel each other's breath and Exu's pitches.

"Yeah well, you really don't know a damn thing about me at all... For all, you know everything you saw could just be a facade..." Exu looks away to hide her face.

'Why is it so difficult!? Why is she able to read me so well!? This is unnerving...' Exu's grip dents the Aura-Resistant table...

"Yang and Ruby told me about your past when you were gone... You never eat lunch with us and Yang and Ruby kind of spilled the beans... Come back Exusiai..." Blake holds her hand out and Exu falteringly tries to grab it only to pull it back.

"You are very persuasive... But... I can't... I... I... Need to silence you..." Exu points the magnum at Blake but the gun shakes... Exu is unable to go through with it...

"It's my fault! My fault! Damn it!" Exu throws the gun on the ground.

Blake hears Exusiai's inner thoughts...

[I was lonely... Don't touch me! I'm filthy! I'm a bad person! None of this is fair! I hate myself! I hate everyone! I hate everything!] Exu drops to her knees.

Blake felt the raw emotions that Exu kept bottled up... She saw flashbacks of the time in that hell hole she saw how badly damaged Exu's body was when she escaped she saw the scream filled with so much hatred when Exu heard thunder... She saw Exu kill a horde of Apathy with her bare hands... her hatred of the world was so intense that Apathy did nothing to her... She saw how Exu mined and mined and ate spoiled food and dirty water... She saw everything Exu went through within the span of a few moments and also dropped to her knees.

Blake and Exusiai's Souls connected for the briefest moment but that was all that was needed... Exu crawls away currently experiencing what's called Soul Exhaustion and finally leans against the wall. Exu flips the lighter open and closed over and over again then finally lights a cigarette. The God of Darkness smirks.

[A job well done!] The God of Darkness retreats. Blake and Exu are unable to see him since mortals can no longer perceive him like they used to be able to.

"Want one?" Exu throws the pack of cigarettes at Blake and slides the flip lighter over to her.

"I uh... I've never smoked before..." Blake sees how Exu enjoys it and takes long drags.

"It will give you a little something..." Exu is too exhausted to resume the drama... And feels like she needs something more substantial so she grabs a bottle of Vacuo Whiskey and drinks straight from the bottle.

Blake lights the cigarette and coughs and gags... "How do you even enjoy this!?" Blake puts it out.

"Been smoking and drinking since I was 10... You get used to it..." Exu exhales a lot of smoke and then drinks big gulps of whiskey.

"They can't be healthy..." Blake grimaces.

"It is what it is..." Exu gets up and decides to go with the silenced sniper rifle and pistols instead of the usual weapons she uses when she goes out to kill scum... The weapons she usually uses to execute those scum were so loud you could hear it all over Vale.

"...Can you play the piano for me instead of going out there to kill people... I really want to hear it again..." Blake uses upturned kitty eyes and it's super effective. Blake wants Exu to stop killing people all the time and the best way forward is upturned kitty eyes and begging.

"Gak... Why?" Exu looks away while blushing at how cute Blake was acting.

'That's so not fair!' Exu coughs and turns away.

"Because your music is beautiful just like you..." Blake gives a goofy smile obviously madly in love Were it anyone else she would act the same as she usually would.

"But I have to... Who else will do it...?" Exu looks anywhere but at Blake.

"You can't continue this forever... Crime will exist so long as humanity and Faunus exist... So... Just stop and... let it go..." Blake says with a solemn voice.

~Sigh~ "You're right... I just can't stand it... They cause suffering with everything they do and I hate it! I saw a man get killed for some Lien... The man had a family to take care of they took him away from them... I hate it!" Exu clenches her fists so tight that they break but they heal nearly instantly. Exu's hatred causes her eyes to glow red a byproduct of her tainted Aura.

"let it go... Please..." Blake uses the upturned kitty eyes again.

"...Maybe..." Exu puts the guns away.

'Is it so wrong to cull the scum in Vale? They don't deserve to live! They shouldn't have even been born in the first place! But... am I doing the right thing? I'm not so sure anymore...' Exu gives Blake an Inquisitive glance and wonders why she has such a great impact on her.
