Rabbit Faced
[] Use Luvia's Alchemical ingredient that you got before. You can mold it into a weapon of your choosing, you're not engaging Minerva as she was without something in hand.
You and Minerva looked at one another as she made her approach. Your body was screaming, straining to keep itself functioning. You didn't know how much you have left in you but...
The most you could do was struggle.
Clawing, dragging, struggling to overcome every single trial you were faced with, you never hesitated to pay the price. No matter the cost, so long as you moved forward it didn't matter what you had to pay.
This was your Path. It was your Road to walk until you reached the end.
You took out Luvia's vial from earlier while Minerva dashed towards you. You raised several protective runes which she easily bulldozed with her punches and kicks. Minerva was quick to dart to your location as you turned to evade her, weaving beneath her punch and igniting a rune between you two.
Minerva swept the air with her leg, blowing apart the wall of fire between you two. You used Luvia's vial, splashing the contents to the air as it reformed to short sword. Minerva leaned back from the range of your blade as she swung at your gut.
You caught it with the pommel of your blade as the two of you were but a foot from one another. Blocking her punch, you kicked her in the stomach and slashed down. Minerva sidestepped your swing and projected her own sword in hand.
You clashed with Minerva causing sparks to erupt between you two.
"You're not getting anything out of this... Your life's a dead end even if you win," you told her as you disengaged from her.
Minerva went for your head as you ducked beneath her blade. Her fist intercepted you and smashed right into your face, knocking you back as she followed up with an axe kick. You dodged and she managed to split the floor.
You thrust and her sword was ready and waiting.
"But the same... Goes for me," you admitted as you grinded your sword against hers, "But that's just how it is for us, isn't it? This fight is pointless but we pretend there's a reason for it. We pretend that by beating one another there's some grand purpose to it all. Even if I say this, even I believe it. That's just how fucked up we are."
You broke contact as you and Minerva exchanged blows, your arm going numb with each strike as you caught your breath. You evaded her attacks and managed to disarm her by knocking her blade upwards.
Minerva held her hands on either side of her and projected two more swords while you brought your own down.
"These fights, these battles, they're nothing but an escape. I believed that as well. Fighting for ten years can turn you into a scumbag of my caliber," you told her as you pushed her back, "But I knew that. I knew everything! I knew that this road will be nothing but Hell! But what about you, Minerva?! Do you love Big Brother so much that you'll follow in my fucking footsteps!?"
Minerva pushed you back and swung her swords while you brought down an icicle from above. Runes shined and formed a spear of ice which you smashed downwards to stop her advance.
"Are you prepared to for what comes next?! Because you better be!" You roared as Minerva dashed to the side as you activated a rune which caused the ground to burst with ice.
Minerva jumped over it and spun towards you with her blades. You rolled to evade and parried her next blow, allowing you to smash her gut with a kick.
"You're just a kid not even a year old. Power, talent, and your output, those mean nothing in the face of actual experience," you kept talking as Minerva slid to a halt and swung down her sword, "I'm telling you this now, you can still give up. You can still turn your back on this. One Doll already made her choice, who's to say you can't do the same."
Catching her sword, you felt the floor beneath you buckle.
"I'm not... Like her. I'm not defective," Minerva snarled as her blank expression gave way to venomous rage, "I... Am perfect."
"You're immature that's what you are. It's the same as what I told you in the graveyard. What comes after you kill me? And even if you know an answer, are you prepared for it?" You hissed back as you pushed, "I thought cutting myself off the Luctworth would make me happy... But I was wrong. I wasn't prepared for the next ten years and look at me now... Here I am in a pointless fight."
"Shut up," Minerva snarled as she grit her teeth.
"I'm prepared to die for my ideals and cause. What about you? Are you prepared to die chasing me?" You questioned her, feeling something slithering under your clothes.
"Shut up! I'll kill you! That's what I was made for! That's all I was born for! What else do I have?!" Minerva screamed as she shattered your sword and swung upwards.
SLASH
Minerva sliced off your left arm in one swing while you caught her other arm. From within your clothes, a black Serpent peered out of your jacket, its red eyes flashing as it jumped at Minerva. The Doll's eyes widened before the Black Snake sunk it's fangs into her neck and sent her reeling.
Chiyome's final curse.
You picked up one of her fallen swords and slashed her stomach, feeling the blade cut through her flesh as her blood danced in the air. Minerva's eyes widened as she sought to return to her Emergency M-
"Stop!" You roared as your Mystic Eye activated, freezing her in place. Tears of blood slid down your cheek as she stood stiff.
You knocked her into the ground and held the blade on her neck. You were looking down on her as she looked up on you. A satisfied look filled her face as she sighed.
Her eyes widened as the curse from the Serpent's bite coursed through her body, causing even the slightest spike of magical energy to hurt her. You watched as the marks of scales appeared on her flesh as she gasped for air.
"Brother..." Minerva breathed as you kept the blade on her neck, "Brother... I'll kill you."
She raised her hands and clasped them around your neck, only that she didn't have the strength to squeeze.
"Celine... Even if you... Revive her... She will never forgive you. You... Will always be... A Monster," Minerva hissed with every word dripping with her hate, "I know... Because a part of her... Is inside me. Is inside that Traitor Doll... Is inside all of us made by Grandfather. Your journey, your sacrifice, it's for nothing. It's pointless. You're pointless."
Minerva's hands fell as she was left staring up at you in utter exhaustion.
"That's probably true. But I don't regret any of it," you replied as you looked down on her.
"Oh Brother... So pitiful... So unloved... Even if I were to die, the family will send another after me to keep you company. Another Minerva, another Brie, another Doll will always come chasing you... So you will never be alone," Minerva chuckled as she endured the curse coursing through her body, "You will never know peace or rest."
You braced yourself.

Or wasn't Brie gained true conscious after she got cursed ?

She'll probably kill us. But...I think Hans is so sick of this.
Sick of this fight in so many ways. And I wonder...if Rabbit does do another one of these, will Minerva be the next protag? Who knows.
Just to make sure. @AnonymousRabbit are these write-ins okay? Or is this a strict no write-in decision?

Sparing her's not really an option because even if it's not Hans, she's gonna cause trouble for someone down the line. Cursing her at this point seems kinda cruel and depending on the extent of the reprogramming, it might as well be the same as killing her current self.

Reprogram is what Hans did to Brie right before the start of White Parmesan.
Going by how that turned out... I'm split between mercy kill and giving her a chance to find her own path, free.

This vote honestly fits Hands the best. And I am kinda enjoying Minerva's struggle on what she was made to do and what she could do. Am I wrong in thinking that I want to see if a redemption arc is possible? Well, let's give it a shot.

Rereading White Parmesan. Hans trapped Brie in a Bounded Field until she essentially broke and got her own personality. The end result was entirely accidental on Hans' part.

No, he also fucked with her head to remove/suppress the kill directive, which also gave her amnesia.

He actually only removed that later, after she had already attained self-actualization. There was a lot of drama about it after the fight with Caster.
Thanks for the clarification.

Agreed.
Kill, Trap, or Reprogram are my votes. I dislike Curse for personal reasons. And Spare won't work.

It's either this or trap for me, hopefully I'll get another look at this before the vote closes.

I am really really unsure about this one, I don't think I quite grasp everything reprogramming entails. Nonetheless, I don't think killing her is the right thing to do, sparing her is a terrible idea, and cursing her seems unnecessarily cruel. So in the end it comes down to either reprogram or trap for me, if anyone has a good argument for traping her I'm more than open to it.

I will say for the people arguing for Trap. Minerva is an entirely different case from Brie. Brie was basically an emotionless android before Hans caught her.
Minerva is essentially her own person, even if she's never had the chance to explore what that means.
So as I see it, the only choices are Killing her, Sparing her, or maybe Reprogramming her. Depending on how deep the reprogramming is.
I mostly want her to have a chance to live without the Luctworth yoke. If she leaves or shanks us afterwards I don't care as much.
In my opinion, saving Minerva here has the chance to be a resolution for Hans. Even if it's not the one he sought.
