This isn't my fault

[nightgoddess]

[Nyx hmphs softly, looking around with a somewhat strained look on her normally expressionless face. she's not exactly certain of where her not-quite-so-dear mun is, but just to be certain she'll glare at just about everything (or everyone) around her before she flatly adds:]

I refuse. It is utterly beneath my dignity... both your ideas are. Do not allow yourself to be talked into foolishness. Must I remind you of what I am?

Another pity.

[Nyx is back to sounding neutral, though she has noted these other differences with some interest. she wonders why this girl hasn't ended her life, then, if it means so little to her]

Death is eternal, child, as well as necessary and good. It has been part of the cycle of existence since I first arose from Chaos eons ago. You would do well to just continue on as well. You are alive, even if he is not.

[Oh if only it was that simple.]

Eternal, yes...

[You don't understand. Of course not, how could anyone?]

But I'm not, not really. He wasn't just my brother, he was part of me. I'm half dead if he's dead.

[nightgoddess]

Then why not meet him all the way? Humans are fragile, it's a simple manner to end your existence, if you do not enjoy the gift of it. Many have before you and many will after you... it's not difficult, and it need not be painful.

[said just as calmly as her earlier words, despite the unpleasant subject matter]

[Ah, and therein lies the sticking point. Some deep, core part of her still wants to live, and fights so harshly against what she's become that she can't ever follow through. She refuses to look at or acknowledge it.]

I guess it... takes a certain amount of courage that I don't have.

[Well that's sure the most self-effacing way of putting it.]

[nightgoddess]

It is a strange line you straddle, child. Either decide to live, or decide to die. Neither thing is meant to be felt halfway... it's improper. There is day, and there is night. Muster your courage and make a choice.

[you know, in her own twisted way, Nyx actually may be trying to help here. she finds people in Minako's position to be interesting... almost tempting]

[thefoolsmessiah]

[Preaching to the choir, deathface.]

And yet against my own choice I do feel death halfway, as half of me is dead. And that half the one with the courage.

[Mito was always the one with the courage.]
