Seth peers over the edge of the couch and sees Raine curled up on it! He nudges her impatiently on the shoulder in an attempt to wake her up.
"...Rαine! It's me, Seth! Cαn you wαke up for α moment? It's been α while αnd I miss you α lot. You cαn go bαck to sleep lαter when I'm not here."

Well, that plan failed.
The heavy atmosphere lifts as she slowly got up, groaning. A faint red glow from her eyes quickly fade away as soon as she turns toward the person who disturbed her. He might have caught it if he was observant enough to notice.
'H-huh....? S-Seth...? You-re...'
Ah yes. Him. While she wasn't aware of her other "friends", she was well aware of this one. Her former agent, as well as some others, had told her all about him and his relationship with the girl whose body she now inhabits. Now to act accordingly.
She falls out of the couch, crawling backwards away from him.
'S-stay away! I...I mean it!'
She musters the most frightened expression she could think of.
This was going to be delightful.

He almost notices the red from her eyes but not really, and seems to shrug it off for the most part.
Her reaction seems odd and disconcerting to him, Seth tries to verbally reach out to her.
"!...Whαt hαppened? Did somebody hurt you? I mαy be αsleep, but I'll protect you while I'm here."
Trying to figure out why she may be in distress, he notices his horns are plainly visible.
Worried they may be triggering to her, he waves them out of sight. Dream logic is a great thing sometimes.
"They're gone now, is thαt better?"
He gives her enough space to do whatever she might plan to do next. With her misfortune who knows what may have happened while she was elsewhere.

'P-Protect me...? But...but y-you abandoned me when I...I needed you most!'
She kept backing away, into a wall.
'B-because of you...s-someone tried to...they tried to...I almost d-died...'
She clutches her head, here come the fake waterworks.
'This is your fault... your fault...'

Already used to seeing others afraid of him, her tears only strengthen his resolve to set things right.
"Whαt the fuck? Whαt timeline did you come from? You disαppeαred when I wαs trying to sαve you from yourself!
You were αbout to impαle yourself on α mαce before I stepped in!"
Something seemed off about her story, but it also... Scarily plausible in maybe another context.
"Whαtever you might remember αbout me isn't whαt I've been through with you. Besides, I'm α chαnged mαn now."
Even if he's planning to join with Thoren, Seth knows he isn't like him, not anymore. He actually cares about others besides himself, right?

She frowns.
'D-don't you get it...?'
She gets up, shaking.
'I wanted to die on my own terms...but because of you...you made me suffer.'
She takes out her signature mace.

Seth notices the dangerous situation and tries to defuse it. He holds his hand out in a symbolic gesture.
"Rαine, it's not worth it. There's nothing worth dying for here, not while there's more reαsons to live. If you die now... You'll never be αble to leαve this hopeless plαce. You deserve better thαn this oppressive endgαme wαstelαnd."
Seeing Raine in such a dark place... It pains him. He's been there before and every time he tried, he was greeted by the reminder of a fate not meant for him before he could even succeed.
Raine may not be an heir of time integral to the continuation of the timeline, but she is important to him and that might as well be the same thing. There has to be a way to save her...
"Rαine, tell me, pleαse. Why do you wαnt to throw your life αwαy?"

A bitter smile. Such heartfelt words falling on deaf ears. Perhaps she could crush his hopes here and now, just for fun?
She looks at him with a look of scorn and ridicule, sneering.
'Tell me, Seth. Is 'my' life really worth anything? I've seen this bubble. There were so many of me...all of them felt the same way I do now.'
She playfully fiddles with the spikes on her mace. Her eyes glow red as the heavy atmosphere returns, concentrated in the single room.
'All of them felt betrayed by the people they thought were their friends.'
Of course, that was partly a lie, but nobody needs to know.
'Of course, why ask? We both already know the answer, don't we?'

Seth glances downwards and closes his eyes. He can hardly stand seeing her in such a condition.
"...Rαine. Something's not right. I don't know whαt hαppened to you here, but... this plαce isn't heαlthy for you."
He opens his eyes and gives her a concerned look.
"If it's done this much dαmαge to others with your templαte, there hαs to be something fucked up hαppening αround here. I've met one of you thαt hαsn't hαd her spirit crushed like you αnd the others hαve.
Her optimism... it give me some hope for you, αnd your kin. Your life is worth something, αnd it's not something thαt should be tαken for grαnted.
I feel, if you were αble to get out of here, αnd into the light αgαin, you'd be hαppier thαn you would be otherwise.
This plαce isn't meαnt to be hospitαble. It's... it's chαnged you. I cαn feel α pressure right now... αnd while I cαn't understαnd it, I cαn tell if αnyone were to spend too much time under it, they'd eventuαlly be crushed under the sheer weight regαrdless of emotionαl bαrrier."
The heavy atmosphere is beginning to take a toll on him. Despite his determination shown through his speech, It's drained quite a bit from him to just lay it out like that.
He notices she has red eyes at this point but decides not to bring it up, yet. It doesn't seem to bode well at all. Something is clearly wrong here, but he can't tell what it is exactly.

The mention of that one girl set her off.
Her eyes flash and a bolt of violet lightning strikes just a few inches away from Seth.
No more fooling around. No more games.
'Save your nonsense for the real deal...' Her voice was unwavering, hatred clear in her tone.
'That is, if you can actually find her! Ha ha ha...ha ha ha ha!!'
The heavy aura lightens as it conglomerates into a ghost behind her. Her true form, cloaked in shadow, is clear in view.

"OH SHIT!" He flinches back away from the lightning, barely catching his footing.
Seth gets into battle stance and summons his level 2 soulscythe. The corkscrew pattern lights up a burning bright red as his hands make contact with it. He holds it in a defensive position, not wanting to accidentally hurt the wrong targets.
He should have fucking known it wasn't the real Raine. She was too off, too inconsistent, too... fearful.
"WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HER?!" Seth cries out at the malevolent spirit before him.

'My, my. Already with the shouting. How droll.'
While the apparition simply floats there menacingly, Raine- or rather...Raine's body, floats off the floor and simply lounges.
'Since I know you would rather know the short version, I would say that she's still inside my bubble, bumbling about lost and defenseless, like a little pup.'
A twisted smile appears on her face.
'Oh, and if you would be so kind, it would be best that you put away your flashy little swinging stick.' She lazily points to Seth's weapon, yawning.
'Otherwise, you're going to be in for a bad time...For quite a number of reasons.' she lets out a small chuckle before simply assuming a more comfortable lounging position.
And now, she waits. What for? Who knows.

Not wanting to cause to much trouble, he puts away the scythe, but puts his boomerang in his back pocket just in case.
"Where cαn I find her? And why αre you doing this shit?!"
His tone of voice is filled with conviction and concern.

'Tell you where she is? But that would ruin the challenge! Having you go straight to your goal will be too boring.'
She chuckles.
'I would like to see you and your friends struggle. Just for fun.'
