She hates me. I took everything from her. If I say I intend to win for her, well






She would probably hate that too. Imagine the person who ruined your life deciding to take some twisted pity on you, but it was too late. You're already messed up, and hold it against them.

[wincon]

it'd be more insulting if that kind of person assumed how I want to live my life and made a decision for me.

[erbe]

So what? You and Fuuta think I should just talk to her? Like it won't just get me killed?

So far we've been able to remain civil.

[BY THE POWER OF JUST NOT ADDRESSING IT.]

1/2

[wincon]

aren't you doing this all for your own sake? you don't actually want to understand me, you just want to fix things according to your own ideas because it'll soothe your guilty conscience. why would I want the help of someone who runs away instead of facing me?

2/2

[wincon]

maybe I'd say something like that, in her position

[ maybe he would want to say that, but how would he know? it's not like anyone's faced him either, in any way other than the physical. ]

[erbe]

[That first bit feels... visceral. Real. Like getting shot and having the shaft of the arrow twisted so that the head does more damage. Yet with Rin's struggle between her "duty" and her "wish" the mention of guilt is so heavy that she can't quite tell if Tomura is speaking from experience or not.]

Right. And she'd be entitled to it. That anger and hatred. I don't think she's in the wrong for it.

[But I can't turn back now. Yes you can. It's gone too far. It's too late. Is it really? We can never be sisters again.]

What would you do if they did face you? If they embraced you?

[wincon]

dunno
there isn't an equivalent kind of person for me

[ just many, many people who don't have the right to pretend to know him, who only want to know him for their own sakes. ]

but a long time ago, someone tried to take my side
it made the world feel less lonely for a bit

[erbe]

Okay.











Thank you.

[wincon]

anyway she probably wouldn't be able to kill you here, even if she tried

[erbe]

[Perhaps anyone else may find that tactless, but... Tohsaka is actually a bit grateful for the pivot from "talking about feelings" to "the logistics of dying".]

Actually, I think she might be able to. I just won't stay dead is how it works if I heard right.

[wincon]

either way
it's not like you'll stay dead.

[erbe]

True, but who knows what liberties the House will take if I have to be brought back?

A price would need to be paid, most likely.

[wincon]

better than dying permanently

[erbe]

Says the man who wanted to chop his head off for Halloween.

[wincon]

if I wouldn't die from it, why not?

1/? sorry i'll let you know

[erbe]

Because! It's a stupid move! Even if I'd stick around to make sure you'd get help if you needed it, I still think risking that is beyond a brain donor decision!

[erbe]

I wouldn't like it!

[erbe]

What I mean to say is that I think you're find as-is, and if the House changes something about you I wouldn't like it!

[erbe]

Just hypothetically speaking, you know. What if we didn't get along anymore? It'd be annoying. We still have work to do together, you know.

[erbe]

So you better not mess that up. I'll hold you responsible if it happens.

6/6 i guess... thank u for patience

[erbe]

Acknowledge it. Tell me you understand.

[wincon]

I meant it'd probably be okay even without this place getting involved.
what makes you think they'd change something?

[ point






him ]

[erbe]

[Oh god. Good thing he didn't comment on any of that but the subject. Phew.]

The world works in equivalent exchanges, and the proprietress seemed to imply this resort also works based on giving up a "price". So there would, logically, be a "price" for you to pay to be brought back if you didn't survive being decapitated.

[wincon]

then it's probably just more fucking anyway

but, fine
point taken
you're still worried about dying here

do you need a bodyguard for the times you run into her?

1/2

[erbe]

NO THAT'S NOT IT! If she kills me then she kills me! I probably deserve it! I'm worried about **YOU** dying from a stupid decision because you figure it doesn't matter!
