Attacking him, trying to persuade him, bargain with him, reason with him. That... nobody ever thought to try and help him churns her gut a little. Maybe he usually brought monsters here, maybe it was deliberate, maybe she wasn't even going to be the one to do it. But... ]
I'm sorry. Can't say I'm surprised, but I am sorry. We're going to fix this, even if you won't help us. Even if it is stupid. You deserve mercy.
[ Even the angry dead clawing her flesh to ribbons deserved to rest. It sure wasn't going to be easy, and she doesn't believe her own words as she says them, her anger at being trapped and separated from her life still too fresh and raw to deliver with the conviction it deserves. But if it's their way out, if this is what must be done, then it must be done. Darcy has always been a vessel for things greater than herself, always subsumed in the will of others. She'll get used to the feeling again, given enough time. ]
