Today, ITC:
-Euri tests Raita's acid powers...on herself. Gets predictably burned (there were controlled circumstances though).
-Gets help from Winter.
-Lots of poking into the Fury's past ensues. Valerian and Euri keep up the psychoanalysis on her, trying to understand why she still wants to go back to the Furies. Turns out Raita pretty much worships Queen as a paragon of everything she is, and wants to be.
-Much coaxing her about what she wants to do, and can do besides killing ensues. Turns out she used to while away the hours staring at the ceiling.
-Winter gets fed up with the psychoanalysis, and asks why Raita hasn't been punished for her crimes yet. Much back and forth on morality and circumstances ensues.
-Said back-and-forth ends when Val dares her to kill Raita herself. She doesn't go through with it, and breaks down. An attempt to comfort her is made, but isn't very successful.
-Small breakdown from our heroes. Euri tries to help as best as she can, but isn't sure of what she can accomplish. Val realizes that several of the things Winter accused him of (shying away from his responsibility over who deserves to live and die, being a hypocrite) are absolutely true, and that he just proved her point by gambling on her nature not being that of a murderer.
-A little bit more psychoanalysis as it's pointed out that, when Winter threatened to kill her, Raita didn't want to die, in spite of her words to the contrary. She's untied and given a chance to get some sleep outside the bag.
...And then nobody slept that night (AKA, Val and Euri didn't). Purely a talky session, but totally worth it for dat character development, son.
