If you are, so am I.

[gogoghostpowers]

You didn't turn into a giant bug monster!

[fleshedout]

[Annoyance crosses her face.]

I could have!

[gogoghostpowers]

Well you didn't!

You got cured! You don't know what it's like to rip out of your own skin!!

[fleshedout]

I know what it's like t-

[She starts, stops. And huffs.]

No. You're right. Not that feeling, exactly.

[gogoghostpowers]

[ slumps in her hold suddenly ]

...I don't want to turn into a monster again. Why does it always come to this?

[fleshedout]

Hey, hey...

[Yeah, she's going to put him down and draw him into an embrace.]

You're not going to turn into a monster. Not on our watch.

[gogoghostpowers]

[ oh.....this is softe ]

How are you so sure?

There's more than one way to turn into a monster.

[fleshedout]

[She shakes her head.]

Because I don't like monsters. I like good people. And you're a good person. Even if you change into one, your core's still the same. That won't change.

[gogoghostpowers]

What does having a good core even mean, if I still end up becoming a monster and hurting people...

[fleshedout]

People hurt each other all the time. Whether on purpose, or accidentally...I think what matters is that, if you do hurt someone, how you see it.

[She shakes her head.]

Besides, you becoming a monster is out of your control. You don't want to hurt people, right?

[gogoghostpowers]

Well...no, but...that doesn't change that I still hurt them, even if I didn't want to.
