"What do you think I'm here for? He was miserable, and then he wasn't. I did that. I took away his despair. None of you could do it."

Bloodkong seems to lose track of her in between the shaken-and-stirred and when she speaks next, since she's saying less words there are less points of tracking to help him zero in. So he strikes uselessly at the ground a few times and then manages to get a glancing blow against her shield with his final strike.

"Better to have a void than to be in misery."

I get that you're looking out for him the only way you know how — but this isn't the way.

[ Keep moving, Korone, keep moving! It's hard to find the balance between using her words (the best, the only weapon they really have here) and not turning herself into a sitting duck for him to whale on. But all she can do is try. ]

We can't take his feelings away from him, but we can help him work through them. We can support him, help him heal, and make sure he feels heard, seen, and loved with all our hearts.

Bloodkong rears up with what looks to be a killshot... but then it pauses, staff in the air.

"You'll leave him eventually. Just like everyone always has."

I will never stop fighting for him. [ She doesn't stop moving, even with that pause. Staying in one place feels like too big of a risk to take. ]

For as long as I live, for as long as I draw breath, I will never stop fighting for him, and to be with him.

Bloodkong stays paused. Considering.

"You sound awfully sure of that," it says. It's tone measured and cautious instead of hissing and caustic.

"Just be sure he won't regret this."

And with that, Korone's portion of Bloodkong dissolves into red mist.

[ Korone lets out a deep, DEEP breath, but she doesn't allow herself to waver. Not yet. MK, Red Son, Wukong, Donnie, and Wash ... their fights are still on-going. She's gotta stay on the ball, just in case someone needs an assist.

Speaking of needing an assist, she scoots around the fighting to check on the fallen Macaque. ]

Macaque is soundly sleeping. He seems still and peaceful, but he won't wake up no matter what you do.
