Mm. What about it?

If a stagnant world truly will deteriorate, then... does it matter whether they die as they should or stretch it out for forever?

[The own twisting of anger in her heart shows just where her thoughts lie. But it's not her question to answer when she'd already made her choice clear.]

[soulus]

If they want to dance with death, they can do that on their own.

[heartablaze]

You mean without getting others involved?

[soulus]

Do you disagree?

[heartablaze]

... For not involving others? I agree with wanting to keep that away. But I don't remember enough about their circumstance to say for sure, Rufus-san.

All I know is the existance if the suffering that those kind of choices can bring, no matter how strong or determined someone might be. Even if you know you will die... to bring an entire world with you, and to say it is to protect those you love... it seems cruel, to me.

[soulus]

It's just self-seeking disguised as righteousness.

[heartablaze]

Yes. It is.

To be selfish isn't bad in itself. You need to be able to fight for yourself and your own desires. But... there are better ways to grieve, or to fight for what you have left, than to turn to something so drastic.

...

Your turn, then, Rufus-san.

[soulus]

[He looks at her. What does she expect him to say?]

[heartablaze]

[She blinks, before awkwardly trying to explain.]

I've asked you enough that I feel I have my answer for how you think. I appreciate you being honest.

Do you have another question for me?

[soulus]

. . . Not at the moment.
