That's why I want us to be alive, together.

It’s not like I’m planning on dying. But when we can’t control what happens— it’s better to be aware it could happen, rather than blindsided by it if it does.

[ and as far as he reckons, he’s more likely to be targeted than yuri would be. ]

[applebough]

... I know.

[ Yuri quietly sighs. ]

I just... wanted to have a bit of hope, after all this time.

[ It's hard to admit that and she's prepared to be called a fool about it. Even so, she's here and she said it. It feels like that's all she can do right now other than waiting to see who dies next. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ hmm. ]

I think you can still find it, if you want. Depends on what you want to latch on to. If ‘no one else dying’ isn’t possible, maybe figuring out why and stopping it’d work better.

[ there’s that temptation to have a cigarette again. nothing’s stopping him, but he doesn’t go to pull one out and light it. ]

I’m not going to promise something I can’t keep, but if it does happen, I’m not going to just roll over and let myself be killed.

[applebough]

... Yes, I know you won't.

[ Yuri smiles a little. ]

No promises. All we can do is our best. Thank you, Shu. For hearing me out.

[ he nods. it shouldn't be surprising that the conversation gets this heavy on a day like this. ]

... Any time.
