... Thanks. It's true that I don't intend to die here if I can help it—I don't want to be the kind of jerk who leaves someone a widow before our child is even born.
That was normal. That's how outcasts like me were treated. I knew that no matter what I did, I would never gain any respect from anyone. It was hard to live like that. No matter how much I wanted to live, it was hard because I could barely find jobs that provided any decent money.

At least... not for me. I have never died, but Gregor and Rodya come from the future. I've seen myself die... from Gregor's memories. The point of time that I was pulled from was a split second after the Abnormality attacked, so if I were to return to The City, I would undoubtedly die.
... Mm. [he smiles back.] ... It'd be irresponsible for me to say that you'll definitely live, given our current situation.

But I want you to, and if we make it through this, I believe that you'll still get the future you hope for, Yuri.

and then wow the void inconveniently pulls them in to witness something they're not supposed to! (2:12 - 9:22)]

Anyway, when that memory finishes, Yuri's eye goes wide. There are so many things to comment on. She's not sure what to start with first. ]

Yuri slowly comes to and pats her own cheeks to snap out of it. ]
You had a girlfriend... who is a queen... who was also pregnant. And you're a king...

How many more royalties do we have on this ship...?

Probably not that many, right...?

Wow, that guy was a jerk. [a beat] Not Gregor.

Did you and everyone else make it out of that situation, at least?

Yes, and only them. No one else.

I'm ready.

I've been wondering since the first week here, but... did you die back home, Yuri?
no subject
[ Yuri shakes her head. ]
At least... not for me. I have never died, but Gregor and Rodya come from the future. I've seen myself die... from Gregor's memories. The point of time that I was pulled from was a split second after the Abnormality attacked, so if I were to return to The City, I would undoubtedly die.
no subject
I'm sorry, Yuri. That's... one of the reasons why you don't want to return to the City, then?
no subject
[ She smiles a little. ]
I would like to live. I've tried very hard to keep living and I've done many things for that reason alone. So, I...
