LU 219 - Space 42

After getting to Spawn, Vice and I prepared him to go get Boulty from Funnii. Once I sent him off, I just kicked back and waited for him in the police office.
Then, something hit me: I still had that deal to fulfill. I looked over and saw Shroom sleeping in her cell; I decided to start my end of the deal. I walked over and woke Shroom up, then made some small talk with that wretched criminal. Then, I threw some cuffs on her and dragged her to the red mass, asking her about her faith to her ideals along the way. 
Once at the house, I swam into the side entrance to the mass and pulled Shroom to the small tunnel down to the "captive holder" part of the mass. I threw Shroom down, watching with glee as she shrieked the whole way down. Then I simply waltzed out of there, swiftly making my way back to where I was.
While drying myself off, it occurred to me that I just sent Shroom to die, essentially killing her. Normally I would feel nothing, but without the sword I felt... guilty; I almost regretted sending that nuisance to die. It felt weird, seeing as I've never directly or otherwise killed someone. However, the more it sank in, the more I felt comfortable with the face.
After some waiting and more stewing, I heard Vice snoring in the office out front. I walked over and saw him dozing off on the desk; heh, cute. I woke him up and started to ask about his trip to Funnii's. It went smoothly, and he successfully got Boulty back. On top of that, apparently what took him so long was that he made a detour to talk to Mira about the mass and such.
Once Vice explained everything else, he showed me where Boulty was. I had to stand there to take in seeing him again, and new feelings started to bubble up; feelings an actual parent would feel- sympathy, guilt, sadness, etc. 
After snapping out of it, I grabbed Boulty, who was nothing but skin and bone, and went back to my place with Vice. We laid him down on a spare bed, then got into our own bed and passed out.
