this is a gift; it comes with a price;
Who: Takaya and OPEN.
When: Evening, the 22nd.
Where: The Coral.
Style: Whichever.
Status: Open.
[The last thing he had remembered was pain - pain and the voices of the members of SEES around him. Death was close, and Nyx was coming. She would bring her salvation to everyone.]
[And yet… he feels somewhat damp. That is strange - strange enough that he opens his eyes and looks around. He seems to be in a plaza - but that cannot be. He was dead, even if they had managed to stop her - which was impossible no matter what they believed. No matter how much he wished to make sure her arrival was prepared… he was unable to stop them.]
[At least he would have some peace… though it appears now that he is denied it for the moment. He feels in his pocket, clasping his hand around the pills. There aren't many left. Why would he have need of them where he was going? But in this situation… this could be a problem.]
[He snatches up his gun and shrugs his shoulders, attempting to gain feeling back in them where they are starting to go a little numb and cold. He will explore this place… and find the answers that he seeks.]

I'm not threatening you. I'm warning you.
[...ha.]
Every life is worth treasuring, Takaya. Don't throw yours away.
[Even if you've been terribad and he doesn't like you, he still doesn't want to see you dead.]
no subject
No. Not every life. And the choice to throw mine away or not was made long ago for me, when I was given this power that I never asked for. The only value it has is to end suffering for everyone.
no subject
Not that that means Minato will ever stop trying but--
Yeah, he really doesn't like you. He straightens for a moment, expression solemn.]
I am sorry you think that. I really am.
[He shakes his head once.]
One more thing--death isn't permanent here. I hope you can learn to live, so that it's not just endless suffering.
[And then he turns away to go.]
no subject
...
[He would question how that is possible, but he's not going to trust any answers from him anyway. So fine. He'll just watch him go, not saying anything.]
