the placing of these next to each other is exquisite

Yes.

[ zero hesitation. ]

[that's about what she thought - she's using it to make a point, because she can't linger on that thought for too long without getting frightened.]

I think she would want the same, if we're able.

[ imagine i get rolled to be a killer tomorrow

he nods, though. yeah. yeah... he thinks so, too. ]

... Maybe... I wonder if it wouldn't be a bad idea to talk with her about it. Now that she's feeling more like herself.

...I don't like it.

[she's not as generous or kind as he is - she can't see that ending well.]

I'm sure she already knows what's coming. But if she's told outright, wouldn't that mean the monster would know as well? What if that spurs it into acting sooner?

Maybe. We'll... have to see what the overseers say. I'm curious about what War's opinion will be.

[ rondo trusts war's judgement beyond just about anything, so whatever they say is bound to be helpful. if he's more generous, then he's more generous, but... maybe they temper each other that way.

anyway i think now's a fun time for a nice memory!

i just can't kill someone i care about., after all. ]

[it's a little heartbreaking in this context, and she takes a moment to move past the excruciating physical pain, but in the end, the first thing she says is:]

...That's not a surprise.

[that he succeeded.]

[ bittersweet is the right word, yeah. as it ends, rondo has his hand to his heart, and he's quiet, letting the shadows and the pain fade away as he shakes it off. he turns his head to vin... and the comment makes him laugh, light, as he ducks his head. ]

Is it...? It was a surprise to me.
