“What?” he asks, you nodding to your eldest. He turns, seeing Chaya standing there, her side facing him. Clearly showing off what's left of her tail, from where his actions nearly killed her. “Wh-What? No, your tail. It should have been re-”
“It couldn't be saved.” she cuts through his babbling, looking down her nose at him. “Because of what you did, I nearly died. Soba nearly crushed me under his heel, after what you did to me. What you TOOK from me! Because of you, because of how stupid and incompetent you are, I'll never have the chance to reach that same power my other self did. And it's all. Your. Fault.”
Her words fall like hammers on Trunks, the Time Patroller seeming to shrink before your daughter as she glares at him. Eyes burning with malicious yellow and crimson, hate and disgust filling her face. He can't even bear to look at her, bowing his head as she talks.
“All because of you. What a big, strong man you are, mindlessly cutting through whoever you want. Ignoring the damage you do to everyone else, as long as YOU feel good about yourself. You get to be “Hero”. Disgusting.” she says, you watching as Trunks begins trembling before you. He clenches his fists yet still cannot raise his head, your daughter floating over to him. She reaches down, cupping his cheeks in her hands, pulling his eyes up to meet her own. “Yet, despite everything you took from me, all I can feel is pity.”
“Pity?” he asks, voice wavering as she stares into his eyes. “What the hell do you mean?”
“You're not the only one who lost a love.” she says, giving him a toothy, <span class="mu-i">terrifying</span> smile. One full of hate and malice. “But at least mine's real.”
With that she releases him and turns, landing on the ground as she starts walking away, back to the gathered party-goers up the small hill to your side. She walks a dozen or so steps before turning back, eyes blazing with malicious glee. Watching as Trunks drops to his knees then falls forward onto his hands as well, as if all the strength was sapped from his body. She stands over him, drinking in his misery for a few moments before turning her gaze to her niece, gesturing over to her.
“Come on Meloka Wolbach, we've got a party to get back to.” she says, your granddaughter glancing back to the boy before flying over to Chaya, your daughter 'challenging' her to a race back to the top. The two girls take off, leaving you and the collapsed Time Patroller alone. But you have no idea what just happened, what your daughter was talking about. All you know is that it was devastatingly effective, seeing tears hitting the ground below his face.
