If you knew you were going to die

How would you feel? what are you meant to feel?

[ Vivi is not even remotely tech-savvy enough to know how to conceal his identity, so this is a great look into his mental state right now.

Which is to say: not good. ]

I would feel resigned, I suppose... but would fight it regardless. After all, is that not what we all face with Nightfall on the horizon?

We will find a way to save you, Vivi. Whatever that may be.

nightfalls different though
it feels different anyway! you can fight it

i can help with nightfall but i dunno what to do about me. its not something you can fight anyway i think...

i dont know.

If this is what fate has decreed, then it is, but if there is a chance, we ought to do everything we can to save you. We owe it to you. And there must be; after all, you were created for a purpose, which means those who made you must know what they were doing.

i guess so....

but what if im just meant to be this way? what if my purpose is just fighting?

shouldnt i just try to get used to it?

Vivi. I know I talk about fate a great deal, and I do hold it in high regard. But accepting fate is different from accepting injustice. It may be your fate to fight for the good of all, but that does not make it your fate to perish at the end of it. Not when we still stand with you to find the answer you require.
