>>5415908>>5415922>>5415932Schierke did mention how abnormal it was for one to remotely control body and soul during a fight, perhaps it would be a good idea to use that ability while your soul is intact.
Closing your eyes and bypassing the need of runes, you materialize your soul double to pursue them whole while physically staying at the same spot.
However, your body is still not prone to jumping around and dodging tigers without inflicting damage to itself, the precognition can only show the best possible way for you to dodge, chances of tripping and falling are all on you.
Let's try not to trust it too much and calm Farnese down fast.
Going after the two brothers, you observe the fog quickly approaching before the Pegasus Brigade, along with the giant silhouette of a hairy figure dissipating the air itself with his snorts.
...Barnham? No, he was big, but never that gigantic.
Farnese got cornered when she reached the window of a room, getting ready to jump off should Serpico get any closer.
"Lady Farnese, I've had more than enough time to ponder how I feel about said occurrences The past is in the past. I do not wish you harm, you are not the one to blame for the life I have lived."
"How can you say that to me with a straight face...? It happened to you, to Vlad, and to anyone who approaches a monster like me!"
"Farnese, we've been over this..." You speak up to her, remembering the time she burned her holy armor in Albion.
"I thought I had, until I realized all of our interactions were fake, you were only pretending to care for me out of a sense of obligation!"
"...Perhaps those were my feelings for you at the start. I did see you as a mindless brat in our first meeting, but over the years, I have realized that... I've always cared for you. You were not responsible for me being born into poverty, to have lived with a sickly mother and raising me to be her breadwinner at the age of 5, to have been denied every other path in life simply due to family ties. Be it by being rich or poor, we became close because of our suffering, not despite of it."
Farnese shakes as Serpico pours his heart out in his speech, attempting to call her by her proper titles.
"Lady F... Farnese... Sister. You were responsible for bringing me here up to this point. Seeing you come onto your own thanks to Vlad has motivated me to become my own person, as well. Your actions were already forgiven a long time ago. The only one left to move on is you."
"Do you hate your mother that much, to condone what I've done to her and the life of mistreatment brought by all of our family because of a deranged relationship with a half sister?"
Serpico brings his head down, feeling vulnerable.
"Hate is not a word I would describe of my mother... It is not love, either. It's rather a mix of emotions I will likely never come to terms with."
As you attempt to approach her, Farnese trembles and crosses her arms.
