People wanted the power I had. Easiest way is to kill me.

Is power transferred like that? You kill someone and you get their authority?

For noble families, they just need to place their own puppet on the throne. It would be similar.

There is also just the fact there were people wanted me dead, regardless of what chaos would fall after.

Well... I'm not glad that you're dead... But once all of this is solved, Heaven could be a much more peaceful place to stay if you wanted...

I can't make that choice for you. I just want you to understand your options.

Why not?

Have you hurt anyone?

[personal profile] obdure 2025-03-24 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Here, no... but I don't think I've changed much as a person.

[ Maybe? He has settled down a bit, but that's just less madness and hysteria in his eyes. ]

That's subjective.

But approximately 20 years old, by your standards.

... Then what age would you put yourself at?
