[ Sharon's silent for several beats, her demeanor cooling as she becomes much more serious. She is still working off the premise that Chrollo has no idea what she's capable of. ]
No, Chrollo. [ Slowly. ] There isn't a reason to involve someone else. It's not a typical form of punishment. It's more like... [ More like. No. ] It's Hell. And we all have our own hell in my Otherworld. Even if I included some piece of shit off the street, it wouldn't really matter because you'd still experience what it wants you to. You'd see what it wants you to.
And you have no way to prevent it from targeting people who are inside?
[Chrollo didn't experiment much with the weird dimensional power while he had her ability in his book, it seemed like a bad idea given everything else that was written in Bandit's Secret after he stole her abilities.]
You would see the things it would use to punish me, wouldn't you.
No. The world forms itself around those within it. In this case, it would be the two of us. [ She wants to make it clear it'll be drawing on her as well. ]
But, yes, I'd see what it would use against you. Like you would see what it would use against me. [ She pauses. ] Does that bother you?
[Chrollo tilts his head back and looks up for a few moments, thinking about what hell might await him.]
I...
[What should he even say.]
I watched the video they took, and the pictures. I won't tell you what they did, and I have no doubt that any hell made for me will include things I don't want anyone to see.
I could alter your ability further, to make it exclude people, but that seems like something that would take a lot of magic.
[ She worries her lower lip between her teeth in a moment of silence, brows pinched in thought. ]
I can't tell you what you'd see or wouldn't see but... It doesn't work like how you might imagine it to, Chrollo. It's not so... forward. [ She takes in a sharp breath and sways momentarily on her feet before she settles herself. ] You might see a... a version of her. You might find pieces of her. You might be hunted by monsters that remind you of the men who killed her.
Maybe you'll hear her in the streets. [ A pause ] I can stay in a safe area in the Otherworld, let you experience it on your own.
But I'd rather you not alter my ability any further. [ Oddly enough, she believes everyone she pulls in deserves to experience hell. Everyone has ghosts that haunt them, herself included, and some part of her thinks everyone deserves to see them. ]
