I don't know. I feel ... guilt, about what I've done to him. He is still my friend. He cares for me in his own way. And I cannot be responsible any longer for taking something like true Justice from the world - it is too great a loss. It would make me the monster I fear I am.
And I don't know that I would be whole again, if we were separate. It is not as if who I was before remains intact as he was either. What if what is left is too little to hold together.
Can the concept of justice not exist in the world without the spirit of Justice?
[ this is a genuine question, they don't totally understand how that works. ]
... We are changed by what happens to us in life. The things that we lose. Who we become as we grow around that loss. But there would be so much time to heal, you know? And to do so at your own pace.
