If Rouge sees herself as a monster, at least she can gesture to this backstory and claim that monsters aren't born, they're made.

Very nice character piece.

I love this one. I like the controlled introspection. It's straightforward enough to give us a good sense of her mind, while vague enough to leave us to our own thoughts.

"And you can be the judge of this one."

Yes. Very much yes.

You've delivered this time.

Awesome!
