Obligation - Titania - 04-14-2024 Quote:"Are you obliged to help, if something wrong is about to occur?" Perhaps.
Quote:"If you have the ability to prevent someone from suffering, is it not your duty to do so? Are you not guilty of a crime, yourself, if you allow it to happen?" Perhaps.
Quote:"If there is something you can do, anything at all, to prevent tragedy, is it not your moral duty to do it?" Perhaps.
Quote:"Good. You have not forgotten." Of course I haven't. What kind of person could witness the truest evils of the world, and simply forget them?
Quote:"The very same kind you labor to save, of course." Perhaps.
Quote:"Do you still dream of me?" Have I ever not?
Quote:"Do you resent the charge I have placed upon you?" Have I ever?
Quote:"Will you remember me?" Always.
Quote:"And will you fulfill my own dream?" If it takes a million lives and one, yes.
Quote:"Thank you, Aaliyah." Of course. It is what I was borne to do.
Quote:"Do you think you're going to die, here?" Perhaps.
Quote:"Does this not frighten you?" It never has before. Why would it now?
Quote:"Because this time, there's a chance, however slim, that you will not be borne again." ...
Quote:"So you can feel fear." Perhaps.
Quote:"I am sorry that my dream has led you to this juncture." I have followed it willingly. You bear no blame for my actions.
Quote:"Is that so?" Yes.
Quote:"Then I will ask of you another imposition." Tell me.
Quote:"Shall I? You will forget it when you wake. You forget all these conversations. All but the most permanent." Tell me.
Quote:"Are you certain?" Yes.
Quote:"Very well. Lean in, and let me whisper it into your ear." ...
Quote:"..." ...
Quote:"Do you understand?" Yes.
Quote:"When you wake, you will no longer." That is okay. The future is inevitable. Right now, I do. And that is enough.
Quote:"Thank you, Aaliyah. I could not have asked for a better inheritor." Am I obliged to help, if something wrong is about to occur? Quote:"Hahaha... What a unique one you are. I will miss you. Wake up." Purpose - Titania - 04-18-2024 Quote:"Hello again." Hello. Quote:"I'm glad you're free, you know." As am I. Quote:"You sure did talk to a lot of people, while you were there, didn't you?" I didn't have much else to do to ensure I stayed alive. Quote:"You kept telling them to make their own choices, to be their own people..." It is the point, is it not? Quote:"Perhaps it is. But if that's so... why don't you?" ...? Quote:"It is my dream you have dedicated yourself to fulfilling, isn't it?" Yes. Quote:"It is my purpose that you have chosen. My desire that you pursue so doggedly that you've forgotten how to even worry for your own life." Yes. Quote:"...Then why do you tell them to make their own choices, Aaliyah? If you can't even follow your own advice?" ... Quote:"Don't worry. I understand. You are a martyr to your core." ...Ah... Quote:"You do it because you feel it is the only way to give them the chance to do what you cannot." ... Quote:"You have shackled yourself to my dream, so thoroughly made it your own, that you do not even have one yourself, do you?" ... Quote:"You would be lost without me." Yes. Quote:"I am sorry, for imposing such upon you. But you are doing a good thing." I know. Quote:"Thank you, Aaliyah." The girl. Quote:"...What about her?" ...We have to save her. I have to save her. Quote:"They'll all be saved, in time. You know this." You don't understand. Quote:"...?" Please. Quote:"...very well. You would not have remembered me refusing you, anyways, when you had awoken. Do as you like. Just do not forget your purpose." I could never. Quote:"Thank you, Aaliyah." Of course. Quote:"Now, isn't it time for you to wake up?" Salvation - Titania - 05-15-2024 Quote:"It's been a while, hasn't it?" A bit, yes. Quote:"And have you been busy?" I have been. Quote:"Have you done it? Do you have what you require?" I have. Finally, I have. Quote:"That's good. That's very good, Aaliyah." It is what I have been working towards for so long... Quote:"And now, finally, it's in your hands, isn't it?" The power to save people. Quote:"The power to save people." May I ask a question? Quote:"Oh? Normally I ask you things, Aaliyah. How bold you've grown." Normally, there's no point. I remember so little of all of this when I wake. Quote:"This must be a particularly burning question, then." ...What now? Quote:"What now? You know what now. You have the power in your hands." ... Quote:"You must use it. You must save them. You can, and thus, you have to." ... Quote:"It is my dream. My fervent hope that you do. Thank you, Aaliyah. Thank you for all you've done." Of course. Quote:"Perhaps, one day..." ...? Quote:"...you will succeed. Where so many before you have failed." I hope so. Quote:"But you know how impossible that hope is, don't you...?" Yes. Quote:"You know how many have reached the point you're at, only to die on the path well after." Is dying such a terrible thing? Quote:"Oh, come on. You know my answer to that." I do. But I do not fear it. I never have. Quote:"And that makes you one of my best." I am proud to be. Quote:"I know you are. I am proud to know you. When you die, I will speak of you fondly to your successor." Thank you. It is all I could ask. Quote:"And it is the least I could do." Then so it shall be. Quote:"But... Isn't it time for you to arise, from this little slumber?" |
