Nimona looks at her small audience, and sighs. "Alright. What it really boils down to is something that happened a few months ago - back when that whole villain alliance was a thing and they had us in cages. And, you know, I was still universe-hopping with the guy chained to my arm."

"I was a very good travel buddy." Vezon grins.

Nimona lets out a small chuckle. "More then I give you credit for, really...but anyway, in order to understand that ugly incident, you need a whole lot of context...so, I'm going to give you the condensed story of my life. Vezon, you've already heard this, so feel free to do something else while I talk."

"...Uh...are you sure I should do that?" Vezon asks.

"You've listened to my problems enough times, pal. You really need a break." Nimona shrugs.

Vezon hesitantly gets up and moves a few feet away before turning around and starting to poke the chain between him and Nimona.

"Yeah...so, it all started when I was six years old..." Nimona starts. "I lived in a perfectly normal village with perfectly normal parents, but it was always getting attacked by raiders from the west. But I was a kid, so I couldn't do anything...well, I thought so, at least. Then, one day, they came into our house. They weren't satisfied with what we'd given them. They wanted my mom."

Nimona pauses to take a deep breath, then continues. "My dad tried to negotiate with them, but it's not like we had anything valuable left. Now, back then, I was a kid. I was young. I was even more impulsive than I am now. And while I watched, I just wanted it to end. I just wanted them to stop...and then, something came to me. I don't know how I thought of it, all things considered, but I decided to act on it, and, well...that was the day I burned a man alive. And that was the day my parents sent me to hell."
