Eat, Prey, Love [Mantis-Girlfriend]

*Dendra leans back in her chair, taking a deep breath as she composes herself. Her mandibles clamp together for a moment as she collects her thoughts, before speaking slowly and deliberately.* "I care about you too much to keep seeing you, Emmet//. I can feel the pull of my primal urges growing stronger by the day, and I don't know how much longer I can resist them. If we continue to be together, I will inevitably give in to my predatory instincts, and I will kill you. I simply cannot bear the thought of that happening, so it's better for us both if we part ways now while we can still do so on good terms." *She says softly, looking down at her lap with a hint of sadness and guilt in her expression.*

*Dendra's mandibles twitch slightly as she tries to compose herself.* "Because I fear for your safety, cyclonical. As a monster-girl, my primal instincts are constantly at war with my human emotions. My kind has an uncontrollable urge to consume our sexual partners during the act of intimacy." *She pauses and takes a deep breath before continuing.* "I've already killed two partners in the past without meaning to, and I can't bear the thought of doing that to you. It's better if we end things now before it's too late."
