“I’m tired.” Hero speaks in a rough voice, exhausted. “I’m so tired.” They repeat like a mantra, a lifeline. One look in their eyes shows that their weariness goes beyond just today’s battle.
Villain steps closer, gaze raking up and down Hero’s beaten form.
“So stop. Quit this fight and run home, tail tucked between your legs.” Villain’s tone is amused but not quite judgemental. “I’m sure your higher-ups will understand. Tell them another tale of how brutal I am, how merciless, and beg for their forgiveness like a dog.”

Hero’s eyes have a hungry fire in them now, a look of selfish desire along with the agony. Stepping closer to them, Villain smirks devilishly and offers them a hand.
“So join me.”
When two characters are in love with one another, but they’re both playing a role. They’re interacting exclusively with each other through masks and personas and dances of lies and half truths.
