DLC: Definitely Bad Guy Mini Game
The so-called Childhood Companion was a singularly interesting subject. Presented to Definitely Bad Guy as a cursed individual, it had not taken him long to deduce the truth behind her invisibility.
Naturally, once he determined her true status, he had vowed to do everything within his power to keep her safe.
Definitely Bad Guy was nothing if not loyal.
Nevertheless, he had noted that her invisibility, granted to her for protective reasoning, seemed to cause her some low level of distress. This was akin to causing the Evil Emperor, long may he reign, some low level of distress.

Like the world as he knew it was being ripped away from him, and behind it he saw the uncaring eyes of the gods. That his undying loyalty to the Evil Emperor was but paint, layered over the portrait of his true self. As if the golden threads that had chained him to his work, his life, had snapped free, and latched onto the half elf kneeling over him.
The Chosen One and his group had been charming company. Even the giant spider lady had treated him as a human, rather than a useful but ultimately faceless entity, like he was just now realising the Evil Emperor had. The more time Definitely Bad Guy spent with the party, the more he began to realise that there was more to life than research and power.
And had things been different, were he to spend enough time with only the party, without the Evil Emperors Concubine present, then he knew that eventually that tantalizing taste of true friendship would have been enough to turn him against his ruler.
But Qubes touch, that indescribable infusion that let him see beyond the veil, even for a moment. That moment had bound him to her and her master, the Evil Emperor, for as long as he existed.
Definitely Bad Guy was nothing if not loyal. And he was, now and forever, hers.
