Yeah. I didn't want to tell anyone what happened. It was bad enough to have her involved.
[He'll shift over so he's able to lean against Gamzee while he talks.]
We stole something from Doc Scratch. Or she did, but he said it was my fault for not keeping everyone in line, which fair enough, I knew what she was up to. So he killed her, and then he told me what we were trying to find out just to be a sick shithead.
He told me that what he wanted was for us, us twelve, to win our section. And to do that, he changed our culture. He put the Condesce in charge, and he made it so highbloods ruled over lowbloods, and he also changed us. He made us more violent and dangerous, he made some of us prone to killing others. And when he did that, he made it worse for some. He made it so highbloods especially would be dangerous and highbloods especially would subjugate the lower classes and keep them in line.
He did all of that so we'd grow up strong enough to defeat the Black King, so we'd win and help him, but never get our reward or survive in the end.
[He swallows hard, his tone turning increasingly bitter and disgusted as he speaks.]
I hate him. All that shit, that awful highblood shit that I did this week, that you've done before when you go to that dark place, that's not you. That's him.
Oh, and I just lied. He didn't kill Terezi. He just hurt her enough that I would have to.
