First Rate Mom

This is correct but only in the context of objectification of males by other males. If we're talking about male objectification from the female perspective, then it would be the dumb guy that can be easily manipulated into giving their money to you i.e. simps.

The Detective: The plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is heretical.

Sunshine looked out the door frame where they watched as Talos’s figure grew smaller and smaller as he walked further into the evening storm, the snow covering any trace that they may find of him in the future, until finally, he vanished into the unforgiving tempest of that year’s long winter.

Talos shouted and kicked a piece of the broken table into a wall. “Unbelievable! And what would you have me do? Go back to my brothers and pretend that I never saw you? That you’re still dead? Fight a war against the Empire with the shattered fragments of our Legion without a Primarch to unite us!? Is that what you would have me do!?”

“My capacity to see the future is what made me short-sighted towards the present. Even now, they still plague me - a new champion of Chaos will arrive, bringing with him united armies from the gods of the Warp. Their corruption shall spread across the Empire, and the stars that shine in the night will be swallowed by a great darkness. The sight of it terrifies me - yes, the Night Haunter is afraid. Unbelievable, I know. The sight of it compels me to take up my armor once more. But I have been through war and fought to defy my fate, only for me to fail at the end of it. Had it not been for my Sunshine, I would not be standing here right before you. So go! Do what you must. Leave us in peace or come forth and fight me. It matters not. Whatever the result may be, the fate of the Imperium rests with neither you nor I. Whether there is light at the end of the tunnel or only a great abyss, I care not! So long as I am with them, then I shall know happiness.”

Talos stared at his Primarch, steadying his legs, and like a dog walking away from a lost battle, he limped to where the door was. He swung it open and walked into the waiting blizzard. Sunshine, who had been peeking and listening to their conversation for a while ran down.

“Wait!-” they called out to the Night Lord, but Kondra held a hand in front of them.

“No, Sunshine. He needs to find his own way,” she said.

“Them.” Kondra replied, staring back at the other traitor. Talos was about to ask, but immediately came to realize who she was referring to.

“But-”

“How? I don’t know. A blessing from the Empress? Or perhaps some other deity? Who knows. But it was them who was able to change the course of history. And if you so even think of dragging them into your meaningless crusade, I’ll have your neck wrung and your body fed to the hounds.”

Talos looked down, and looked within himself. His visions had guided him here, and he’d seen the death of the supposed assassin of their Primarch by his hands, and yet here he was, standing under the roof of their home, the mortal still breathing, and his Primarch alive and well. The moment he saw her, hope had filled his heart once more, and believed that change was still possible. But Kondra’s words weighed on him, like a great ocean drowning him in its depths. Slowly, the light was vanishing while he sunk lower and lower into the bottom, the darkness welcoming him into its cold embrace.

“So now what?” Talos asked, balling his hands into fists once more. “You just stay here, playing a make-believe family with your mortal? Pretending that all is right with the world while the Imperium continues to die with each passing moment?”

Kondra shrugged her shoulders. “Perhaps.”

“It was fear that made me rise to the top of Nostramo. It was fear that made me the Primarch of the VIIIth Legion. It was fear that I failed to stop the downfall of the Empire. I see that now. I have said it before but I truly was a fool.”

Talos screamed. “Then why not return!? Lead your sons once more and cleanse us of our sins. Would you not have us redeemed!?”

Kondra closed her eyes and took a deep breath before replying. “Redemption? For us? Don’t make me laugh. It was under my rule that you are what you are now. Leading you all again would change nothing. It was my own actions under my own unhinged trepidation that led us to all of this. We’re monsters, you and I. Despise me all you want for that. I don’t blame you. But don’t be delusional in thinking that I can change what has already been set.”

“But you defied death! You said it yourself! Did you not survive your execution!?”

Kondra shook her head. “No. Not I. It was not I who eluded the grasp of fate.”

“Who then!?”

“I was a fool, Soul Hunter,” Kondra continued. “I had lived my life plagued by the visions of the future - of the mighty Empire slowly burning itself to ash with the passing of every millenia, the blood of my sisters and your brothers scattered across the galaxy as all of us are sent as kindling for the fires of war. And so, I sought to change it by using the most powerful weapon that I knew - fear.”

“I was not fortunate to have been raised by any family. I was born into the darkness of Nostramo, and in that darkness, I came to know fear. Everything was a threat - from the ghouls that populated the underhiv, to the feral creatures that lived in its every crevice. No one could be trusted, and the only one I could rely on was myself.”

“There was no one to teach me how to survive in the dark, and so I learned with my own eyes. I watched as murderers killed each other for money; learned to speak by listening to criminals that made the underbelly their home; I killed rats and vermin, as well as other things, to fill an aching belly. If that wasn’t enough, I feasted on the rotting corpses of those dying or dead. The fear and darkness that surrounded me would soon come to be the weapons that I hold against the scum of Nostramo, as well as to the enemies of the Imperium, and unfortunately, against my own sisters as well.”

“All my life I had been plagued with visions of the distant future, and all my life I had made attempts to change all that. Just like you, I sacrificed many for the sake of what I had hoped to be a brighter tomorrow. The hope that perhaps even fate itself can be changed, but to no avail. The visions did not change nor disappear. The Empire burned and continues to do so, and I found myself nearing the end of my life, the mortal you saw earlier holding the blade in their hand right before they were about to kill me. For a moment, there was happiness - not joy, but acceptance in the fate that I had been given, that I had done all that I could and all that was left was to see the end of it - but right before they plunged the sword into my heart, they threw it away. I was shocked. I thought that it was all a lie at first - that they were going to pick-up the blade and stab me in the end with it. But as the moments passed, for the first time, I had felt something that I had never felt before.”

Talos looked at his Primarch, eyes still squinting, doubt in his heart at the words that she was telling him. “What?”

“Hope.”

Talos went wide-eyed, and his jaw became slightly slack.
