Isaac hears the above as he approaches the crystal.

He's not noticing it because he's holding Meme back.

Specifically, an orb of starry night is holding Meme back from huggling the child.

Two portals open up.
'Fine. Get out. I don't care. Go home.

My problems are not yours to deal with."
Everyone gets the feeling that if they do leave, they will have done something horribly wrong. Something about the way the child merely opens the portals.

He seems angry, upset, lonely. But also desperate.

"Are you going to get on with your motive speech already?"

"Actually, no.

It isn't as if any of you want to know, you are only here to find your way back home. Pfft."

'What do you care? Did I not simply teleport you here, for my own amusement, simply as toys?

Did I not nearly kill you all?

So where, WHERE is the desire for revenge?"

"What, you think I lie? I want death."
The boy stared at her with intense hatred. But....a little pleading...
"Is it not your duty to avenge those you love having been hurt at my hands? Is it not?

Mine? My issues with my father? Special? I claim it not to be special. Only a normal one, created on a cosmic level.

But the difference is neither I nor he will reconcile-nay, I would. He? He would BANISH me to the cold wastes. Exiled. For being a CURSE upon creation!

No. I had to do what I had to. Magic and runes I bound, I made, I studied. I made myself more powerful. I did not WANT to, but I HAD to."

Isaac hears it again.

He also notices a large, rainbow crystal nearby. As does Will.

"'Mortal'? Are you implying that you cannot possibly die?"

"Hmph. Everything dies.

So go on. I can see that you all are ready and willing to shoot me down. Do it, finish me. I'm done.

Not even my grandest act of creation has earnt respect. So do it."
The boy extends his arms side wards, exposing his chest as a target.
"My power is drained. My patience is done.

Finish your job and begone. He will be impressed, joyful even. I am sure you will get much, much reward for striking me down!"
