“D’aww, you’re feeling grateful, that’s all!” You believe that Vivienne desperately putting on a tough act is adorable. “Thank you for liking my cake! You’re such a sweetie!”
“<span class="mu-i">...AGGhggAAAgggghhhp…!!!</span>” Vivienne thrashes around! “<span class="mu-i">...Keep your flattery to yourself. I haven’t said words to that effect...!</span>”
“Vivi, you don’t have to make a big deal about it. It’s fine if you love it!” You are confused yet flattered.
“<span class="mu-i">L-Listen to me… t-that’s what the spell is forcing me to believe...</span>” Vivienne wants to keep her dignity.
“It’d make me really happy if you did.” You’re going to extend a branch if she chooses to change her opinion.
“<span class="mu-i">GGGggHGGGGGhhhhp…...</span>” Vivienne receives another whiplash, it’s almost like she bit her tongue to not say something she’d regret… “<span class="mu-i">M-Make yourself useful and stop your blabbering, please...</span>”
“What do you want me to do?” You ask since you have little clue of what’s really going on. “Aside from closing the door…”
“<span class="mu-i">Y-You haven’t closed the damn thing yet?</span>” That angered Vivienne, yet, she doesn’t have the strength to throw a louder tantrum.
“I don’t know how to tell you this, but the door has always been closed.” You scratch your cheek. “Now if you want it <span class="mu-i">locked</span>, that’s a whole other issue I don’t know if I can help with.” You don’t have the slick cards Natalie has.
“<span class="mu-i">...Put a chair under the handle to jam the door.</span>” Vivienne orders between her twitching. She’s an expert at keeping people away.
“Uhm, you sure?” You don’t know if that will help with this type of doorknob, but if it helps her calm down, you’ll do it.
You put some furniture in the way of the entrance of the locker room! Vivienne seems relieved for the first time in this encounter, it doesn’t last long.
“<span class="mu-i">...GGggghhp...</span>” Vivienne is convulsing more violently.
“Vivi, what else do you ne—”
“<span class="mu-i">Stop using that sobriquet…!</span>” Vivienne pants really hard as she interrupts you.
“Sorry, Vivienne—”
“<span class="mu-i">Don’t say my name again...! No more flattery either.</span>” Vivienne cuts you off again.
“Okay, what else do you need me to do?” You want to be as useful as she asked you to be.
“<span class="mu-i">Do not… look at my general direction…</span>” Vivienne sounds a tiny bit embarrassed.
“You’re only asking me things not to do. How is this going to help?” You frown.
“<span class="mu-i">...My first concern is not to get worse.</span>” Vivienne grits her teeth. All of those things you do made her condition decline, which makes you wonder if you’re the issue here.
“Maybe it’s better if I leave?” You’re the source of her discomfort, right?
“<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">No</span>, you mustn’t…!</span>” The former cultist categorically denies your idea. “<span class="mu-i">If you abandon me… I’ll be overwhelmed by the pain...</span>”
