And what are you gonna do about that, exactly? Did you walk to the center last time? Did I get thrown to the edge for you to fish me out?
It probably reads harsher than she means it to, but the sentiment stands. If some creature tries to feast on her, she does not believe he will be able to get more than a step or two past the edge of the crater before he drops too. Julie has already done what is supposed to be impossible, even for the Summoned -- she walked right up to the monolith without pain, without being forced into the Horizon, without even flinching. She would still be out there if she had simply not touched it, and she accepts that. She has full confidence that when she is released (and it is very much a question of when, not if), she can stay in the crater for as long as she pleases without difficulty.
All she has to do is not touch it again. She isn't a child, she can keep her hands to herself.
I'm not stupid. I knew what I was risking when I came here. I just also know that whatever it is that the Singularity wants with me will keep me safe.
Purple flames, dangerous magicks. It lives in her head and she doesn't know why or how, but it means something. Something she has yet to reach, and therefore she must survive to get to it.
Frustrated tears prickle in the corners of her eyes. How can he be so sure that no one followed him? If someone opened a portal for him or made a stone, then how does he know they didn't immediately rat him out? And not just that; she doesn't know if she can get both of them back on her stone, either.
With an angry whimper, she curls on her side and wipes her eyes with one hand. The blob hums indifferently.
You don't understand. How could you understand? This is something I have to do.
