[ deep breath!! ]

Failure to reach a consensus or unwillingness to participate could result in further casualties. Furthermore, it's much easier to volunteer oneself for that, than ask it of a stranger.

[genderbinary]

Precisely. And I can promise you that in the event of my death, I harbor no ill will towards you whatsoever.

[doubledefense]

This..... it still isn't "OK."

[genderbinary]

I know. I expect that... my team will be rather upset with me, as well.

[doubledefense]

Who wouldn't be!?

[genderbinary]

[doubledefense]

(He's just a kid! Is this really what he wants!? But there's something in his eyes...)


They're all facing the same choice right now, aren't they?

[genderbinary]

[nods]

We certainly can't be the only ones.

[doubledefense]

I. I hate this choice, but I'm not afraid if we have to!


[ LOOKIN 'EM IN THE EYEEEES ]

Is this really what you'd rather?

[genderbinary]

[a bit stunned by your italics]

I--

[doubledefense]

I mean it! There- there might be other things- a lot of things, that stress me out, but I want to be able to protect people. That's what a defender is supposed to be! I'm not afraid to do that, no matter the circumstances!

[genderbinary]

There's no need for you to--to volunteer your life! I can't in good conscience allow you to do that so long as the option is before me.

[doubledefense]

I. I know but- .................. !

[genderbinary]

... is there anything that we can do to alleviate your concerns that we're capable of accomplishing?

[doubledefense]

.....................................




Let me do it.

[genderbinary]

[uuuuggghhhh]

[doubledefense]

My team can deal with it. I- I'm older too, I might not remember as much, but certainly that's something...!

[genderbinary]

You may be older, but I have more experience in games and with Personae in general.

[doubledefense]

You're... uncertain though. Just like I am.

[genderbinary]

... that's to be expected. I don't want to die, but I don't have anything else to give--!

[doubledefense]

...............................................

[genderbinary]

If you want to defend others--then focus on your team.

[doubledefense]

Y-yours too. I'll- I........... I'll look after both of them!

[genderbinary]

... they're capable as is, but--thank you, Fey-san.

[doubledefense]

Mm............................
