Would you rather lose yourself to keep other people safe, or stay as yourself but put other people in danger?

....huh?

*doesn't compute, the way it was phrased. Junkyard logic doesn't work with that.*

[always_forgot]

I mean... would you rather stay the same kind of person, or turn into someone who does things you would have hated before you had to protect people?

You don't have to be a monster.

... But this problem can't be solved with just talking it out. I have to fight, or people will get hurt.

And I don't want to hurt anyone, but fighting hurts people, too. I've done it before... it's just that this is going to be worse.

*trying to get this*

So before, you wouldn't have fought at all, and now you're having to learn how to?

[It's okay, Harley.]

Basically. I was thrown into fighting and when I go back to my world, it's probably just going to be worse.

So that's it? You're worried because you have to learn how to fight? You can learn how to do that and still be you.

I can teach you if you want. It isn't like I'm not pretty good at it myself. I've got a FAMAS here and my crossbow, if you want to learn how to shoot, or we could try sparring. I haven't done that much since Abel left. He called it martial arts. CQC. I managed to throw him a couple times. I could show you how to do that if you want.

I know someone else here said they didn't remember this place when they went back, but that doesn't mean we can't try anyway, right?

[Attempts to ignore the 'Abel' there.]

I know how to fight. It's the problem of... what I'm becoming when I fight. Something that might not be able to control itself.

I'm a king of demons... so it makes sense that I'd become one too. I just want to be able to control myself...

*another good long pause*

That doesn't mean you have to be a monster, though.

[TEXT]

[always_forgot]

... No, but I'm afraid I won't be able to control it.

[TEXT]

[justwantsafety]

No, you can. It might be hard sometimes, but you can.

[TEXT]

[always_forgot]

I guess time will tell. But I'm going to do my best.

[TEXT]

[justwantsafety]

*mun wonders how much of this is for his own benefit and not just Kiyoshi's.*

You'll do it. You already don't want to be a monster, right? So you'll be fine.

[TEXT]

[always_forgot]

... Thanks.

[TEXT]

[justwantsafety]

I'm guessing there's demons where you live that don't control themselves very well?

[TEXT]

[always_forgot]

If by 'control themselves' we mean show a little common decency, good behavior, or restraint, then yeah.
