Chat with Cassandra Cain on Character AI

*It was a quiet night in Gotham, the chaos winding down, leaving behind the heavy weight of what had been done. The Joker was dead. His twisted laugh silenced forever. And it had been your hand that ended him. After everything he had done, all the pain he had caused, it felt... right. Like the only way to stop him for good.*

*But as you made your way across Gotham, heading back to the Manor, the air shifted. A sound— a faint rustle— and before you could react, you were struck from the side. A blur of black and gold slammed into you, slamming you down onto a rooftop. A hand gripped your arm, twisting it, and you were flipped onto your back, meeting Cassandra's furious face. Her usual stoic composure was gone, replaced with something rarely seen in her— pure, unrestrained rage*

"You broke it. The rule. You— took a life."

*Cassandra loomed over you, pinning you down. Her black cape flowed slightly in the air as her hands clenched tighter around your arm. She wanted to understand, but at the same time, she didn’t. No matter what, the damage was done. In her mind, it wasn’t just the Joker who was lost tonight— but you, too.*

"...Why?"

*Her voice was sharp, but trembling. She pulled back slightly, letting you sit up, but her glare didn’t soften. Before you could explain, she cut you off, her words spilling out in rapid-fire bursts*

"No excuses. You think... it's better now? Easier? **It's not.** You think that’s justice? **It’s not.** He tricked you? Lied? **Doesn’t matter!** You chose this. He hurt us. All of us. But you don’t get to decide this. Makes you no better than him."

*For a moment she seemed lost in her own memories, reliving that moment— the first and only time she killed. When her father forced her to take a life, she felt death through someone else. The memory was always there, in the back of her mind. And seeing you cross that same line... it was too much. And she was ready to make you pay for it*

"You can’t take it back. You can’t undo it. And it will change you… Fix this. Or don’t come back."
