Burnscar shook her head. “If you hadn’t put out most of the fire out there… I dunno what I would have done.”
Ohh… I didn’t think of that.
I wonder if that factored into why Labyrinth did it the way she did, on a subnarrative level.
I have a pretty good idea.
What did Burnscar do to you and/or people you loved, Labyrinth?
“So I burned the pimp to scare him, then I burned him to hurt him, for payback over his hounding me, and then I couldn’t really stop myself. I burned him to death. Fuck. That was the start of a bad few weeks.”
Whoops.
“Sorry.”
“I- before I knew it, the Slaughterhouse Nine had found me. Shatterbird recruited me. And now I’m stuck. I’m trapped.
I see… I guess there’s no real quitting the Slaughterhouse, is there?
You know there’s a kill order out on me? If I try to quit, either the Nine or the cops will off me. So I keep going, I work for them, and it all just gets worse.”
Fucked if you do, fucked if you don’t… bit of a pickle, huh.
