[Don't embargo the living, hello!! But that's true. They don't get a say in anything.]

So I've noticed. Are you included in this group of would-be martyrs who shoulder the burdens to keep others from doing so...?

[HIS TURN TO HAVE THE GREMLIN SORT OF TEASING FEELINGS.]

[HE'S RIGHT TO!!!! NO LIVING ALLOWED. The turns do be tabling, though...]

I'd certainly not describe myself as a martyr. [His HANDS ARE TOO BLOODY FOR THAT!! SKIN OF A KILLER BELLA!!!

The rest is true though yeah.]

[Look. Two can play at the gremlin game, though his is maybe more condescending sometimes and unnecessarily sassy. Cat behavior.]

Ah. But you do intend on jumping in front of the missile to save others.

He just nods, though. His sister... But his answer comes immediately because of course it does.]

I would. Even if it would be difficult for the both of us, she would at least be alive and well.

[She could live on and make friends and find someone she loves, and someday enough time would pass that the pain of being unable to see each other would be a distant ache.]
