[ Brushing back her hair unveils her sorrow. With tears forming at the corners of her eyes she looks at him, then can't look at him as she shuts them tightly. It's not pain she feels, it's torture. To exist when so many suffer when she is the one that brought about, to exist knowing that she can still cause so much more harm to others, to exist while being selfish and staying, trying to help, trying to do good--
She's had visions like this before. Of seeing him, then seeing him dead by her hands. There, then gone, like so many others before. She hates it. She hates that the potential remains so long as she exists, when all else around her has done nothing but grow and build. She loves them too much to let that all go to waste. The world doesn't need her, and that's wonderful. It can exist without her, without her crystal, without an Aegis or knowing the future. ]
I wanted that! [ She says at last, her voice raised by fear alone. Then, it drops. She speaks in a whisper, shoulders huddling forward. ] I wanted that, too.
With his help, we sealed ourselves from the world to protect it.... for as long as we could remained sealed and unknown.
[ And now... And now she doesn't know. Now she wants to stay here with him. Now she wants something that's dangerous for everyone involved. Why does she want? She draws her breath, bowing her head in defeat. ] Because we took everything from him. We destroyed his kingdom... The continent, too.
