Every companion you romance as the dark urge says, I know this isn’t you. I know you’re not this creature.
But who did it first?
Enver. Gortash.
And he saw you at your absolute worst too. these bitches see you struggling with something uncontrollable. they tie you up and shrug. you’re not actually evil. it’s fine. they’re trapped with you anyway, by this whole mindflayer situation. so they have to hope you’re good, and they deny how serious it is very very often.
Gortash knew what you were from the start, but he still chose you.
He saw something other than a bhaalspawn when he looked at you.
He knew how you struggled to control your urge, but he believed in you all along.
Until the very end.
