Phantomness is washing her hands. She does this every so often; because no matter how foolish she is she would never walk through flames without Force aid.

Phantasmeon watches her, perched on the shower rod, saying nothing. He doesn’t need to.

She finishes with the mess, and takes out her needles. There’s dried blood crusted on some of them, unidentifiable substances on others. She works quickly, cleanly, and efficiently, the alcohol glimmering before it goes up in flames, and when they’re all purified to her satisfaction she puts them back in their holsters, and shakes her head.

It takes a little longer each time, every death drags her down a little further to the Dark Side, but as long as she can endure it’s all right.

She doesn’t think about the terrible things she does in so many words.
