With Torn and Bleeding Heart

Summary:

She smiles

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

What expression is she meant to wear?

Should her face contort in a rictus of rage? As her hate becomes her whole existence. Fury enough to crack the heavens

Should a grin slither its way across her features in sadistic glee? At her enemy’s immortal nature. Tortures aplenty dancing through her skull

Should her features crumple in complete despair? That her foe can never die. Vengeance eternally beyond her reach

Should tears flow from her eyes in an unceasing torrent? For a loss she cannot move on from. Grief unprocessed for millennia

No

Instead she smiles. For she is all these things and none of them. Myriad condensed to singularity

She is pure

Notes:

I wanted to write about Junko as she’s a favorite of mine. But her headspace is a hard one to get into so it ended up being short and more stylistic.

Loosely inspired by a comment I saw contemplating about how Junko’s base expression is a smile, and how that’s seemingly at odds with her being an embodiment of her own grudge.
