scary monsters ~endless halloween night~ 4-14 "his self-esteem was poor"

[mandytl]

 

Location: The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircare

Rook: VIIIIIIL~! 

Oh Vil, how I missed you so…!

Vil: ……

Rook: Les misérables! What in the world’s got your eyes so puffy… ?

Please, keep those tears at bay. How lonely you must have felt. How terrified you must have been.

I can't believe I didn't notice you sooner. Where in the world did you hide?

Vil: … whole time…

Sebek: Come again?

Vil: I WAS RIGHT HERE THIS WHOLE TIME!!

Deuce: W-What?! Like, right by the stairs? I didn't even notice…

Vil: Sniff… ngh, of course… you didn’t. After all, I’m just… I’m just… 

Rook: Non! You mustn't utter such, Vil. Someone as vibrant as you shouldn’t debase themselves!

Sebek: T-This absolutely dismal atmosphere… Where did his larger-than-life presence go?!

Cater: Oh, come on. Quit your stupid sniveling and help me wipe the floor with these humans!

Vil: No, I… It’s pointless to rely on someone like me. After all, my… my…

My only saving grace is my BEAUTY!!

Sebek: And here I was, duped into believing his self-esteem was poor!

Trey: Guess we’ve got another weird ghost on our hands…

Vil: I made a mistake, jumping into this… this gorgeous body. I'm sure I'll have problems for the rest of my life…

I’ll become the center of attention, and anyone and everyone will be crazy obsessed with me… !

No! Even just imagining it makes my skin crawl! Why do I have to be so… unbelievably beautiful?!

Cater: The hell’s your problem now? You’re SO annoying!!

Sebek: Even the other ghost can't tolerate him!

Vil: Of course. Of course you're frustrated... Who wouldn't be, when I'm wearing these boots to make my legs appear longer?

Ahh, it hurts… It makes my heart ache!

Rook: … Vil. I don’t mind if you weep in distressing times, in sorrowful times. I would never force you to stop.

Because you're the type to rise back up and fight harder than before, no matter how broken or battered.

However, that in itself is exactly what makes you so beautiful! It’s foolish to stay trapped in the past.

Vil: But I… I can’t face the future… not when I’m so beautiful that I’m going to be universally envied!

Rook: You most definitely don’t belong in there.

Now, allow me to see my beloved Vil once more.
