But...

But I don't want to die! I've been doing so well at surviving, why would you say it's okay if that possibility happens? Can't you wait a little bit longer first, to see if Kurosaki-kun's mun changes their mind and applies after all? Then I wouldn't die for sure!

...Right?

[Woman, your dependence on Ichigo Kurosaki is questionable at best.]

You won't die.

[Literally, anyway. Hurray, how comforting!]

[girlfriend_beyond]

...no, no dying. The hell you went through during the metaplot was bad enough.

[leekspins]

I won't...? How do you know?

[leekspins]

Oh, er, I probably can't die in Nautilus! I'm an Angelii, so I'm not easy to kill, ne?

[acardic]

Because you can't, woman.

[leekspins]

I can.

[She smiles a little wryly.]

Maybe it's not permanent, but I'm still mortal, Ulquiorra-san. I'm actually kind of surprised I've gone this long without it happening.

[acardic]

[He isn't going to disagree with any of this.]

Death has no meaning there.

[leekspins]

Doesn't it...?

[Because she remembers someone being very upset when he felt a certain companion die.]

[Sanji paled.]

No... No, Orihime-chan is NOT dying! Not this time, not ever!

[spiral_brow]

WHO is threatening your life? I swear... I'll kick their asses!

...I won't fail this time, either... I can't... I won't...

[leekspins]

W-well, it's not certain! It really depends on how things go! My mun said to play it by ear, and said it was okay if it went badly.

[And Orihime isn't really very okay with this.]

[spiral_brow]

It better not damn well happen! You've been through enough shit! It's about time you got some real happiness in your life!

[She looks so nervous, though! Gaaah... he wants to just hug her and protect her from whatever was threatening her, but this was a different game, and a gentleman doesn't glomp onto ladies without their permission, and... GAH! He folds his arms over his chest and pouts.] ... damn well better go well... This "Kurosaki" had better apply, to save you... or if not, someone ELSE should be there to save you! .o(Reassure her, oaf! Or at least do SOMETHING to ease her worries!)

Ahh... you will always be a shining light of joy, Orhime-chan. Such a spirit... such a light can't ever be snuffed out. It will endure! It's too bright to be put out.

[asano_san]

You're going to die?!

[leekspins]

[Well, there IS someone else acting on her behalf, but she kind of doubts Sanji would feel any better about that. She smiles sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck.]

You're so nice to me, Sanji-san...!

[leekspins]

Er...maybe? It's not guaranteed, just a possibility!

[acardic]

[He'll dodge the question without a trace of hesitation.]

Death is an absolute end. We live in the absence of absolutes.

[leekspins]

[Orihime hesitates. Shouldn't she be trying to cheer him up instead of convincing him that EVERYTHING DIES? Even she'll grow old and die eventually. Life's too short to dwell on death, though.]

That's true...and you're there to help me, so I'll probably survive.

[spiral_brow]

[Well, so long as someone was there to protect her, and make sure she wasn't... you know... killed!]

[Sanji clapped his hands and wiggled happily.] Orihime's happiness makes me happy~! How could I not be nice to an angel such as you?

[leekspins]

[She can think of many ways, but she's not there to be contradictory. Sanji's much too nice for that, and she likes him! Besides, Orihime's pretty agreeable in nature to begin with.]

Ah ha ha ha! Well I do appreciate it! Let me know if I can return the favor, okay?

[spiral_brow]

Your cheerful smile is thanks enough! It's water to a thirsty man!

[asano_san]

A possibility of DEATH!

[nameless_hollow]

Don't fuckin' bet on it.

[leekspins]

Ah ha ha, thank you! You might wind up drowning, I smile a lot...

[leekspins]

Well...yes...but that's true of almost anything, right? So don't worry, Asano-kun, it'll be fine!

[Maybe.]

[leekspins]

I wasn't!

[Sort of.]

...Do you think he might still try to join?
