[ yves just smiles then, a little sadly and squeezes ramiel's hands again ]
... I'm sorry. I don't think I'll have any reason that's good enough for you.
But... I also don't think that's a bad thing. I don't think it's wrong or incorrect, to think there's no good reason for your friend to offer up their life to die.
[ it's sweet. it's something yves does treasure, even if they might not be able to agree. he doesn't think they have to. ]
[ they sound a bit childishly sulky about this because this has not been an enlightening or comforting conclusion! they would really like there to just be explanations that make everything okay. ]
It isn't as if there is no good reason. For the greater good, sacrifices are sometimes necessary. Even the sacrifices of loved ones.
It's just that I have seen people do this without wanting to before. Make the sacrifice they feel was necessary. Say that they were at peace with it. Lie that they were at peace with it. Which is one thing when it saves lives, but another when it only changes which individual we lose sight of.
Mm. I understand. After Jiao... I get why people wouldn't want to make any decision but the objective one. But... [ yves changed his vote ] I understand the feeling of wanting to offer.
At the very least, I can say I wasn't lying at all...

That's probably true but... do you want me to justify myself?
I think my reasoning is abnormal. I know that about myself, at least.

But I can't.

I'm sorry for worrying you. I won't do it again.

This, however, was far from a necessity.

I'm afraid that part of everyone being a little bit different means we might do things that are unnecessary, as a result of our emotions.

I know that can be hard to accept.

But that's my point. The subconscious may feel differently. And I can't see that. So.
