People weren't supposed to die here. What if it damages them? People are killing who didn't want to kill.

[He just wants everyone intact okay.]

[sacredpath]

I think we'll just have to trust that their souls can be repaired. Though I know that... killing when you didn't want to does damage in its own way.

[peripheries]

...I hate to imagine it.

[Choosing his own death is one thing. Being forced to choose another's fate against his will? Terrible.]

[sacredpath]

It isn't my favorite. But let's hope you won't have to face something like that.

[peripheries]

Any of us could. Doesn't it bother you?

[sacredpath]

[well, in a way, it already has happened to her.]

Of course, but you don't need to worry about me. I'm a little more used to violence.

[peripheries]

I worry about everyone here.

[Everyone here has shaped him into more of a person, less of a tool.]

[sacredpath]

You should worry about yourself a little more, I think.

[said fondly, if a bit tiredly.]

[peripheries]

Worrying about you is worrying about myself.e

[sacredpath]

It isn't, though. I will be fine, so don't add me to the things you already have weighing you down.

[peripheries]

[You're just gonna let that random e stand ok. Well, he'll let this stand.]

I can see I can't argue with you here.

[sacredpath]

You can't win against me, no. But is that what's worrying you - that it could happen to you?

[peripheries]

No. Like I said, that it could happen to you. That's more frightening to me than what happens to me. Even if I hate to be stripped of my will.

[sacredpath]

To me specifically, or to someone else?

[peripheries]

To you. And everyone I care about.

[sacredpath]

You're sweet. [not quite happy about it, though, because it doesn't exactly feel like a positive thing.]

We'll see what tomorrow brings, won't we? [because there's no way to reassure him when it might be true.]
