"I know I don't want Danny to know. Danny was just defending himself. He didn't know anything about the situation and if he knows how I saw it, it'd eat him up inside. And...I don't want Danny to be hurt. It's better if he thinks they were just drones, that they could only follow orders, instead of feeling guilt for doing something he couldn't help," Dani said softly, but seriously. "That's why he can't ever know..."
"I was smarter than them. Because of that...I think that's why I seemed so much more advanced at first glance. Because my mind was stronger, the ecto reacted in a way that I was a completely human body instead of deformed. I could afford to transform. The ecto could make a human side. But...just because someone is stupid, doesn't mean they aren't human," Dani said, moving up her legs to the edge of the cliff, wrapping her arms around them.
"They had emotions. They could feel and think, even if it wasn't well. They had the same motivations as me. They loved Vlad...and they wanted to please him because he was our father. I knew that. I KNEW they could think, I knew they could feel. I just...chose to listen to Vlad instead. I chose to believe they weren't human, solely on his word, not on how I felt. I let one fly to his doom. The second...the SECOND gave me a SIGNAL that said he WASN'T GOING TO WIN, so I was to come in and destroy him to get Danny's trust. And the third...it was him that made me really question Vlad. Because I saw him stare at me...."
She paused, her shoulders starting to shake. "He was trying to get Danny to change and used too much energy and I saw him look at me after Danny escaped the first time and he was....he was TERRIFIED. He was scared and terrified and he MELTED in front of me and I know how it feels and his eyes kept haunting me even as I went after Danny, even after I finally realized Vlad was lying, and they did until I finally realized why they did and that I WILLINGLY AND BLINDLY WENT ALONG WITH A PLAN TO KILL THOSE WHO WERE ESSENTIALLY MY BROTHERS!" Dani cried, a sob following shortly after.
