And! Your fire and/or sun burnt it away because (deep breath) they were both infused with your epic heroism-plus-goodness-plus-positive-thinking? Which obviously countered infinite evil reserves, and also countered dumb people who thought they were infinitely evil even though they clearly weren't. And maybe it hurt a little to be singed by PURE HEROISM, and you were sorry, but this was good! For Ramsey. Because she needed to be singed ASAP.
Richard in your head was complaining that "pure heroism" was also not a metaphysical concept, that this was a gross oversimplification of whatever actual underlying mechanism was producing this effect, which could be interesting to study, instead of immediately labeling it in a way that conveniently accorded with your also oversimplistic worldview, etcetera, but Monty wasn't saying anything. He rubbed his forehead. "Yes," he said. "She does."
>[-3 INFO: 3 REMAINING]
ANYWAYS. That was a billion years ago, and Monty got better about the feeling-evil thing, and also died. Ramsey isn't dead yet. Bummer! Hopefully you can fix that, and you're going to be fixing that by shoving more sun where it, as Branwen might've said, "don't shine." What? You already shoved the sun into the sky? Who cares? You can make two! Yeah! Through the power of PURE HEROISM! And you'll see how much Ramsey likes that!
«Charlie.»
What? It's a good plan. You're not changing your mind.
«The plan is adequate. I would like to recommend, if the objective is to irritate your opponent, to appear to 'behave normally.' Dodge and use the weapon and so on. Then, when her spirit has been raised, you dash it.»
Oh. OH! That is a good idea! Thanks, Richard! You should've known he'd be an expert on pushing someone's buttons.
«Yes.»
It's great when it isn't used on you. Anyways. It hasn't been long. You've just been thinking fast. Ramsey asked, um, if you wanted to die. "No!" you say confidently. "Um, I'm going to fight you normal now! You convinced me!"
Ramsey doesn't yell "BAD LIE," so maybe that was a good lie? Or maybe she's extending the benefit of the doubt. "Fucking finally! Come at me, then!"
