Villain v. Hero pt.3 🦹🏼‍♂️

"How long," the villain stared out of the window. "Do you think it would take you to break if I simply left you in a cold, dark cell to rot?"

The hero's chest tightened.

"Humans need company," the villain murmured. "They go a little crazy without it. You hate me so much; perhaps you'd prefer to be left on your own, hm?" The villain turned to face them, head tilted. "I always imagined that's what death would be like. A cold, dark cell, unable to move or do anything. Trapped in your own head with no one else to guide you out of the dark places you end up in. An eternity of conscious nothingness." They smiled.

"You wouldn't do that," the hero said. "There's no point keeping a trophy that no one can see.'

"Let's make a bet on that, shall we?"
