Of course there's another way. There is truth in pain. You have said so yourself. It is why I'm here for you. You didn't want to use Alek's key, anyway.
Suki looks in Darian's eyes, breathing in as their eyes lock. She holds her breath, not daring to look away as he tells her his fears. As he finishes, she looks down, slumps, and sheds tears.
Not enough pain.
Suki then looks up. She looks straight into Darian's eyes, and expels a quick sigh. She reaches out with her cold, iron stumps to grab Darian's hand, and pulls it to her neck. Darian looks. A small chain, a tiny necklace just under her costume lies there. He pulls out the necklace, and find a small silver key.
She continues to stare at Darian as her eyes grow red. Slowly, deliberately, she shakes her head.
WHAM! Calahan rushes in, thankful that you can't lock the cell door from the inside. He sees Darian, hand near Marionette's neck. She startles, looks at Calahan fearfully, but holds her ground.
As the rest of the company waits, Gis approaches. "So, you've spoken with Alek? How did that go? And... does Pigglemorth know the bad news yet?"
He notices Calahan rushing into Marionette's cell. "Is everything all right?"
