aboveallthings[In your hand is a fidget cube, a rounded white cube accented with buttons, dials, and switches in the color of a certain Family on the ship.
Play with any of the fidget cube's six sides and you'll receive a vision. There are two problems with this:
1) some very important information seems to have been blocked out, and
2) you know, with a bone-deep certainty, that this vision isn't yours.
But if this vision isn't yours...then whose is it? Maybe the color of your cube is a clue.]

Findin’ somethin’ irreplaceable will lead to your death.
I need to punish the person who betrayed me for the sake of those who used to be with me.
The [HORN HONKING], Brandon, should be followin’ those precepts as a matter of course.
I know that, Elise.
But those beloved principles of yours are just tyin’ me down.
I’m fine dyin’ because of my own pride, but I refuse to die a captive.
I’m the one in charge of my destiny.

You spot Nathan standing among the others, taking in the victory that you all helped gain. Your thoughts aren't on the spoils you've won though. It's on something else entirely.
"Nathan."
Nathan looks to you, way.
You nod your head towards the nearby alley. "C'mon. We gotta talk."
The two of you walk to the alley, and Nathan Waits with baited breath for you to spill whatever secrets you have. So, you take in a breath, and you say what has been on your mind for a while. "Why'd you run?"
The question just makes Nathan look all the more miserable. "I was tired of being with you. Because I couldn't be what you needed me to be." He shakes his head. "But that ain't your fault. I was the one in the wrong. I just couldn't [HORNS HONKING]."
"Now that ain't true," You start to say, but any further thoughts of argument die before they leave your tongue.
Both of you fall quiet once more, unable to put your thoughts to words. But Nathan finally breaks the silence, though his words are of little comfort. "I loved you, Brandon. Even now, I'd still die for you. Though I bet you wouldn't believe me."
Nathan's words dig into your gut like a hot ball of lead, leaving you feeling more miserable than you had before. How had you two grown so far apart?
"...you promised me your life, didn't you?"
"...yeah."
"So that means I get to decide [GEESE HONKING], right?"
Nathan Looks at you curiously. "Where are you going with this, Brandon?"
"Let's kill 'em," you say, "Everyone who wronged us. I wanna take 'em out, and I want you by my side when I do it, Partner."
"...okay."
-----
If the thing lockin’ me up is me myself, then I’ll just run away from that cage.
Let’s have some fun.
Even if my chosen dance partner leads me to oblivion.
