I don't think much of killing. I understand if people want to win and want to kill for it for the chance to go back for whatever reason.
[ murder is not the issue. morals are also a nonissue. ]
But to have the audacity to say it's less cruel to choose Buzen because she knew he didn't know how much longer his existence as spirit would last when a human could have a longer, fuller life? [ her emotions feel as sharp as the knife legs she doesn't have during the summer. ] It's more foul than any pollution her poison could cause.
[ Oh, yeah. He closes his eyes at that, reaching in his jacket pocket for a cigarette, aaand... finding it empty. His head tilts back with a sigh, irritation and slight exasperation at himself making small ripples in the air. ]
Makes it sound like she didn't think his life was worth the same, just 'cause he wasn't born human.
People'll go all kinds of lengths to justify their moves. Sometimes it'd just be kinder to say I did it just because than fumble through excuses that don't hold up in the end.
[ even modified lungs can only take so much..... but it's life to smoke out.
her vibes are prickly. ]
I would have accepted that. I just wanted to. I didn't care.
[ is it a great reason? no. but it'd be less reason to hate. it'd be less reason to be reminded of just how much humans thought lesser of the spirits they use and summon and have help them.
[ He may be getting lung cancer right now but given his options are that normally he'd just regen it back, or he will die earlier, he sees no losses. Even here it's like he'll either come back to life with his normal abilities intact or he will be dead, so it doesn't matter. ]
Sorry it wasn't a good answer for you.
[ This is not condescending. Sometimes the least you wish for is that an answer will give uou closure, and then sometimes it makes you feel worse. It's just bad. ]
[ stop being so nihilistic. damn. happy almost 6k comments, lowe.
she lets out a soft sigh. ]
I wasn't expecting any answer to be good. It's not like I have a moral compass the way most humans like to think they do.
[ she was whatever about d killing rin? she could have been fine with libby killing buzen. killing happens in a game like this, but somehow, things can get worse in a way you don't expect. ]
But also yeah unfortunately Wolfwood is same brain. It sucks that Rin was killed, especially so early, and Buzen was also a choice in his eyes, but ultimately he isn't as bothered as a lot of the really depressed folk. ]
If they only think they do, then it's not so different is it? Just that you're actually honest and they're not.
[ YES I AM POSITIVE. I AM SURE. YOU ARE OVER HALFWAY THERE. THERE IS MORE THAN HALF THE GAME LEFT. THERE'S STILL OVER 30 CHARACTERS. YOU STILL HAVE YOUR CASTMATES AND YOUR ENTIRE TEAM. I BELIEVE. ]
The teachings depend. Some will say He's all-accepting, and others will say the smallest mistake condemns you to a life in Hell or an eternity of retribution.
It'd be nice if the former were true, but then there'd be no point in making a distinction between good and evil, huh?
[ her emotions give the equivalent of a little shrug because she doesn't do the motion physically. ]
That's more of a human concept. [ good and evil doesn't really apply to her when she has to capacity to do both in equal measure, in the name of love. ] But it sounds like you're more of a believer that people will be condemned to Hell.
[ that fear, strange or unnatural.... she won't react or comment on it. today, we respect terrible feeling privacy, for now. ]
Believing in your eventual eternal damnation doesn't sound much better than believing in nothing, but if you believe you've done so much to deserve it...

derisive is a mood. ]
She had the audacity to say that wasn't it after I told her that's basically what she said to me.

she makes a small gesture with her arm. ]
Isn't that difference enough? I don't pretend I'm on some moral high horse.
[ you can definitely argue she acts like she's on some other kind of high horse. ]
no subject
Sure... not a moral one...
...But I guess I'd rather you don't act all high and mighty about that kind of shit in a killin' game, yeah.
no subject
What are you trying to say, Wolfwood?
no subject
Unimportant right now.
[ He's not going to insult(?) her in this time of mourning. ]

You're more considerate than expected.

I don't expect much consideration.

[ And therefore, he's largely bound to human concepts. ]
Yeah. All the way down.

[ she doesn't understand, and he can feel it. ]
no subject
[ It's just difficult to not, when he's been raised in it, but he's really not sure how to phrase it.
That, and a dull pulse of something strange and unnatural. It almost tastes like fear. ]
