[Wrath could have uprooted a tree and hit Envy square in the chest with it and it wouldn't have knocked the air out of him like that news just did.]

[There's no doubt that his widened eyes and the fear in them are genuine, because Envy would never try to look like that if he could help it, not even for an act.]

You're lying.

[The denial comes out automatically, sounding far away to Envy's own ears. He's still reeling, but it can't be true. He can't have run away. He wouldn't. And as his denial resolves, the anger comes right back to the forefront.]

I'm not a traitor! There's nothing to remember because it wouldn't happen!

_{[NOW Wrath raises his voice, because this is still pretty sensitive subject matter for him, too.]}

Why would I lie about that?

I didn't want to be a traitor! You locked me in the basement until I stopped being angry about it and said I'd cooperate! I was good, I was loyal.

But I can't be loyal now, because we have to stick together!

_{[He puffs, looking like he can't decide whether to be angry or scared. Mostly he just looks frustrated because WHAT IS HAPPENING.]}

If she finds us here, we're all dead.

And our humans, too.

She'll kill them first.

[If Envy were a more reasonable person, maybe he might have tried to listen to Wrath, or at least ask more questions.]

[But he's not. He doesn't want to hear more about this. Throw in his tendencies towards heavy denial too, and...]

[The humans. They keep coming up. It must have been them, somehow. They'd done something to his head and then recruited him to get Wrath too, and clearly it had worn off this morning.]

She won't kill me. I'm not a traitor.

[And with that venomous remark, he hangs up.]

[Today is not going well for anyone.]
