Where the Heart Is

The Courier clutches the raven-turned-origami star close to its chest.

THE COURIER: I AM KNOWN BY MY MISTRESS AS THE COURIER.

Lani glances back at the cultists behind her. They're caught up in what the Courier is saying, theoretically allowing her time to shuffle away. However, the cultists notice when she starts trying to leave.

CULTIST: Where do you think you're going?

LANI: Ack!

THE COURIER: I WAS SENT TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU BECAUSE THE ONE YOU TRULY REVERE

The Courier pulls the origami star apart, turning it into multiple stars that are all connected.

THE COURIER: LOATHES YOU WITH EVERY FIBER OF THEIR BEING.

Marino is aghast.

MARINO: W-what? That can't be right. I... We...

The cultists devolve into anger, shouting things such as "What gives!?", "Liar!", "That's bogus!", and "How do we know this mistress is real?". Marino looks up at the Courier.

MARINO: We did everything you asked!

The Courier narrows their lens at Marino.

THE COURIER: AND YOU THINK THAT ENTITLES YOU TO ADORATION?

Marino clutches her hands together.

THE COURIER: THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD AVOID THIS FATE IS BY NEVER HAVING EXISTED.

lani i fear you're not being as subtle as you think. good effort though
