i’ve been thinking a lot about shifting mound’s damsel lines from when you fight her. they’re very clever.

“your lover drives a stake into your body. and another, and another, and another. do i miss your heart because i can’t stand to see it go?”

“but the stakes meant nothing to you. you had a desire, and you set that desire free, you lifting me and me lifting you, forever and ever and ever. consumed by true belief, there was nothing that could hold us back.”

the wordplay here is insane; the double meaning of stakes, the double meaning of miss. god the writing of this game is phenomenal.

might be my favourite line out of all the vessels. moment of clarity’s is definitely a close second though, and honourable mention to wraith if you don’t struggle and free her, the greys and the witch. still haven’t gotten the “there are no endings” ending because i LOVE fighting the shifting mound solely because of her lines.
