[ kanaya knows she has to make this confession, not that she's particularly looking forward to it. but now that they've put her in solitary, nothing about this punishment has been satisfying. she needs something better.
everyone needs to know, but she doesn't want their pity, and doesn't deserve their sympathy. so. she kind of goes a little too far in the other direction, there. ]
I've been quiet the past few days. I say this not as an apology, because I don't particularly give a shit, but as an explanation. For those who don't know me, my name is Kanaya Maryam, an for the past few months I've been moonlighting as a costumed thug. One might even go so far as to say I was a supervillain.
Shocking, isn't it? I was a bit surprised, myself. [ not that she's going to explain that one. ]
As Hobgoblin, I committed numerous crimes, whether disrupting traffic, harassing the costumed set, playing ghost in a haunted house, other, more serious infractions. Kidnapping. Stalking. And...worse than that. [ her flippant tone cracks, her voice falling low and shaky. ] I've-- I've hurt people. People who didn't deserve it. Innocents.
[ there's a fury brimming in that last word, a self-loathing and shame. she can feel her hands shaking, her knuckles going white as she balls her fists. but they won't see that, it's important that they don't. if they recognize any remorse, it will defeat the whole purpose.
she takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly as she collects herself again. ]
For all of these things, the most the local authorities have seen fit to do is stick me in a room alone without my powers. Which is really great, I must say. Wonderful to know that we feed and house our criminals when law-abiding residents have no such amenities, especially when they aren't registered! I must say this world's punitive measures are deeply impressive, it truly overwhelms me with compunction, how much softer-handed it is than I expected when I turned myself in. I suppose I shouldn't be really surprised, when the approach to everything is such a joke, such a limp attitude toward justice is at least consistent.
But it isn't real justice. It's a mockery. [ she thinks of terezi, and wonders if she'd be more embarrassed by the meagerness of it, or that kanaya submitted herself willingly. terezi would know what to do here. ]
I'm sure many of you could do better, someone who really believes in the subject, unless you're too stuck in all the nonsense moralizing humans too often preoccupy themselves with. You're heroes. I'm a villain. That seems simple enough to me.
If you want to see real justice done, I'm not going anywhere.

[There is a weird sincerity to his voice ...]
But that just proves that it wasn't an accident for you.

So, you must think I wanted to goblin similarly, because someone else had it. Why would I be working with Osborn?
voice
No, he'll skip that part.]
After what you said? Why wouldn't you be?

[He won't say he's smart. He's not smart.

[His accusations aren't coming from nowhere. Peter told him about the goblins, but he's trying to force a confession ... in his own way. He wants to have leeway to go after Osborn. And he didn't want to be pushed to that point.]
voice
Assuming you could even have managed it, I'm not as easy to hurt as you think.
You ran with your tail between your legs the moment I showed you how much trouble I can be.
[ or, you know, to keep himself from straight up murdering her. you don't really have bragging rights on this one, kanaya. ]
voice
The really annoying part of this is that he can't play The Other card. That's supposed to be attached to Spider-Man now. This is fucking annoying.]
Think again, Hobgoblin. And what do you think Spider-Man's going to have to say about all this?
[But he can try that!]
voice
even kanaya's memories of the process are fuzzy. the one thing she remembers clearly is how osborn undid it. ]
He can say what he likes about it. If you think I can be intimidated so easily, you really don't know anything about me.

Honestly, what were you expecting from this? [ did he want her to just 180 and admit that she's lying for the sake of her own guilt? in public? she could never let herself do that, even caught in an obvious lie. ]

If you want a reason, you'll have to find it on your own.
[ and with that, she cuts the feed. ]
