Obligation
#1
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."
