He was determined it would not see the light of day again. Oh, but how it raged against it's chains, desperate to escape and reek havoc against the living once more. Hell and back. The monster was screaming inside of him, throwing itself against the chains. <i> I'm here! I'm still here!</i> He was alive, triumphant and defiant, and only partly, secretly still a monster. Jayse continued to speak, slowly waxing more agnostically curious. However, Kiche had to shrug it aside, before the monster could grab a hold of that tiny wisp of hope. "<b>It's a coincidence, is all. I don't think I believe in reasons anymore,</b>" his smile was slow and shy, as if he was afraid to admit aloud what he had believed silently for so long now —or half of him had, at least. Jayse of all heathens would understand what this meant to Kiche, who had been such an ardent believer. But now he didn't know.
In an instant, Jayse's words parted a dark curtain that had veiled his heart, and now the light poured in. Hissing and spitting, the monster retreated farther back into Kiche's memory, shrinking it's presence and folding in on itself, hiding. That she wanted to help him, had always wanted to help him, made all the difference. His furtive smile deepened and creased his face, although it was still wary —this was too good to be true. "<b>No, no!</b>" He couldn't let her finish speaking, couldn't let her speech taper off into those other horrible, hypothetical options, "<b>No, I want to come home with you. I... I think I need to come home with you.</b>" Otherwise, he would likely fade away into dust. "<b>Please let me come home.</b>"
