[ they aren't necessarily displeased by rondo's answer, even if they are in a different camp entirely. ]
That is where I differ from all of you. The items make sense to me, because a person's suffering should be taken into account the same as their strength. Everyone was so worried about having their lives tied together for monster partners, but never gave thought to the wishes that someone would be willing to put their life on the line for.
I would rather know that someone chooses to weigh the importance of life against their personal goals, rather than be controlled into senselessly harming someone else and then still suffering for it.
It is all a loss of life. None of it is something to brush off carelessly. Perhaps your experiences with betrayal have led to a wariness of those who would choose to break your trust, but I'd rather be betrayed than leave someone I cared for stuck in the same pitiful place with no other options.
It is all a loss of life. I think it - of course, it would be nice, if there was another way. But that isn't reality. [ for as much as rondo is an optimist, he wouldn't have lasted long as the flameguard if he was futile, always. ] So... I think you've given me a lot to think about - thank you.
What you've said about wishes has been on my mind a lot lately, too. I've... only recently thought about starting to find who my partner is. I know they must still be alive. Am I doing them a disservice if I don't find them? Or am I keeping them alive by doing so? Which.. for some people, that could even mean - keeping them alive is really keeping them from their wish, which might even just be leading them to their death.
... It's a lot. I want to make the decision - all of the decisions, here - carefully, if I can.
[ famine has one simple response to rondo's pondering: ]
Sometimes, keeping someone alive is not the same thing as saving them. But the rest of your thoughts meander and vary, but at the end of the day, decisions will come and you will be forced to make choices. You don't know what circumstances in which they will arrive, and how that may make all of your prior thinking and pondering useless.
