I did. I won't partner with anyone, especially now that enough people think I'm afflicted. I can't endanger someone else like that.
Do you disagree, Yuffie?
[ she knows what she said was a little more heartless than she usually is, but it is also a little heartless thinking about how much karlach didn't want to live as a monster. ]
I don't think wishing things are different is pointless. Wanting things to be better is a sign you want change, and isn't that a good thing? It's a wish we should try to take forward with us instead of letting it keep our wheels spinning.
It's something that we can take us as we keep going. It's part of why I keep going.
Because we're still doing this together. We are all still trying, even if every weekend, things feel worse and more dire. We haven't given up yet. We are sharing our weathered wings.

Every week the morale gets lower, but I think this will make it worse by far.
no subject
[ goes for it ]
Are you going to be okay, Robin?
no subject
I am.
[ i will be. ]
I will always fly towards the sky.
no subject
Where else would you be flying?
no subject
That's an excellent question. There is no where else, is there?
no subject
Not really.
[ leaning against robin a bit in this loose hug ]
Who do you think it would have been better to vote for?
no subject
Between the two of them? On logistics alone, as cruel as the metric is, if Karlach is partnered, Daan is the more logical choice.
[ and daan always looks so miserable. ]
But I wasn't completely certain about him until we received results.
[ since nothing was confirmed in public enough. ]
no subject
You came up as an option too.
[ You won't partner up with anyone, will you? ]
[ she shifts uncomfortably at the mention of daan being the more logical choice, but.... nods ]

[ also, quietly: ]
... No. I don't disagree. [ Just wish things were different. But that's pointless. Things are the way they are. ]
But you have something you need to do, just like me, right? So... we keep going.

[ My stupid glitter plan.... Why did I think i would work? ]
You're really something, Robin. Even like this... you....
[ How do you do it? The optimism? The hope? ]
no subject
[ and that gives me hope. ]
no subject
[ wraps her arm tighter around robin's, leaning against her ]
I'll keep going no matter what. The Great Yuffie Kisaragi fights until her last breath.
[ The hope thing, though... I'll have to leave that to you. ]
no subject
As long as you keep going, that's all I can ask.
no subject
Ya don't even need to ask.
[ pumping her free hand into the air ]
no subject
sorry for maybe reinforcing some trauma. ]
But it's also all right to take a rest every now and then.
no subject
Trust me, I'm not one of those those types who doesn't know when to take a break.
You, I'm not so sure about.
[ she is rude but she means well ]
no subject
[ it's not that different. ]
What have I done to give you that impression?
no subject
How much time do you take for yourself? Seems like you're always worrying about other people.
no subject
What do you think my music is for? That's my time for myself.
