[ it's what she gets. and it's not as if his company is unwanted. ]
I know. [ but the fact she's forgotten has wronged her. she's quiet for a moment. ] How much longer do you think this will go on? The killing, the executing...
If the white board in the common room is to be believed, we have another five weeks until we meet Satan—unless the killing stops before the party, but it'd be naive to think that at this point.
It'd be too hopeful to think we'd find a way around it then.
[ she's not stupid, nor naive, but she does want to be hopeful that they could stop it. it's one thing if it's someone that just did it for the hell of it-- but for someone to do it, even remotely accidentally? it's painful. after all, not only did she care about Micah, she did care about Lavi too. ]
For all we know, Satan probably has more plans for it.
There are many Constellations back home, that play their Incarnations... see their lesser forms as play for sport. Some even hate them and seek nothing but blood from their fates.
So, you already do more than any of them would have done. They wouldn't have bothered to lift a finger to begin with.
... I won't claim to be kind-hearted. Undoubtedly, I've done things you would disagree with.
[not something chandra generally admits to an unrelated party, but he doubts uriel is about to preach at him on idealism (and he almost might as well learn now if she is), so.]
But at least in my universe, gods exist for the sake of the universe—every deed for that purpose, whether it be "good" or a sin.
To simply live according to your whims is the life given to other races.
I'm sure. But I'm not exactly the picture perfect of an archangel, I've had my days as "Demon Hunter Uriel", gone against strong ideals that my Nebula and others believe in simply to side with my own Incarnation and her company.
...I would kill if it meant protecting those I care about.
[ so it isn't as if she is in the boat to judge someone completely. sometimes, she will even listen to her heart over the rules and expectations from those in higher power. ]
If I didn't need to get back to my own world, it would be nice to see the kind of story your world is with my own eyes.
[in some ways, uriel's virtues are probably the complete opposite of chandra's. it's kind of nostalgic, given that the gods back home couldn't agree on their values either.]
... Hah. It wasn't a nice one—just the twisted results of flawed systems.
[ that is in agreement with her own. but she is looking at him, smiling a little, cause hey she got him to laugh a little? ]
But our conclusion that we found... it was almost good, it was just missing something. [ someone. ] Less of those Scenarios, as perfect of a peace as one can achieve after everything.
...Someone sacrificed himself, multiple times, to save those he cared about. I've been following his story for quite a long time.
Eventually, he had done so even at the risk of his own happiness. But those he saved could not be happy without him there with them.
[ the sand crumbles through her fingers as she goes quiet for a moment. ]
We eventually found him, but soon enough we found ourselves facing Hounds Chasing After the Abyss. They are monstrous black hounds that will hunt down anyone that violates the Probability. Even still, I was more than confident we could buy enough time.
[... that kind of devotion isn't something chandra can personally relate to, but it's not as if he's never seen cases like that—though not always for the better, in his world.]

If I were to get killed, would you try to solve my case as well?
no subject

Why wouldn't I?

[ said in that "you like me" tone. i'm kidding. or am i. but she seems relieved that he will try. ]

There's nothing to be gained by not trying.

And that's why you have to return?

It is. For him, and because I made a promise to my Incarnation.

It's going to be another long day tomorrow too.. [ though, that brings up a thought. ] Do you sleep normally? Or do you not need it?
