[He's a demon. The most traumatic thing that happened here was seeing his best friend dead because of something some corrupted version of himself thought was a good idea.
Murdering that dragon? Incredibly satisfying.
Still kind of weird though.
The chest screw, which is about the size of Val's upper arm is finally out now, and he grips it by the bolt.]
Yes. I appreciate your help, Akane.
We're finished once we get this back to the portal.
[She distracted the dragon for just long enough Val could stab it... and she was here. The important part for Val?
It's not being alone.
He might have been able to defeat himself alone, but he also wouldn't have been able to recover any item.
There's a reason he goes on and on about camaraderie so much. It's those bonds that give him strength when he gave up the traditional ways of gaining vampire strength.]
We should be able to get through without much issue.
[ Hm, Akane seems? Bouncy now? Like, that was scary, but also very cool?? And she'd been feeling weird about Val ever since he unforgivably betrayed her, but that was??? VERY COOL???? ]

in Akane's opinion
It was extremely cool! ]

That was my true form.
