[When Zel shoves the shadowy arm away, the shadow stands still for just a moment.
And then that same arm abruptly bursts, stripping itself down to bone as the fingers of the hand elongate into long, sharp claws, something more akin to an animals paw than a human hand.
Why do you run?
The shadow's other arm- the left one- starts to bubble up from the shoulder down and expand and grow into something equally monstrous, just as sharp as the first but somehow worse because of the added mass around the arm.
Why do you keep fighting?
Tuuri covers her mouth in horror and tries to back away from this transformation. She can't really escape it though, as the shadow still remains connected to her at her feet. After a couple steps she falls backwards, sitting on the stage as the shadow grows taller and taller, limbs distorting and twisting in ways that shouldn't be humanly possible.
Why do you keep lying to all of them?
A couple dozen small, thin protrusions break out of shadow!Tuuri's chest, growing out to form long, skinny legs, and the shadow!Tuuri hunches forward to balance itself on them, now looking so monstrous that it's difficult to recognize the human that once stood there. The shadows mouth opens in a silent scream of agony, but all that comes out are the same wispy words as before.
Do you really think you can avoid this future if you keep pretending everything is okay?]
it's a good thing this is a shadow or else this would be really gory
