Well, that seems to be settled, then.

Should I take it that you disagree?

[heinesangel]

...

Do you have something here that you would never want to lose...?

[roseraiebleue]

As long as I'm kept alive here, I suppose so.

[pissedkitty]

...

And if you lost someone precious to you, if only for a day?

[roseraiebleue]

It's one day. And since everyone here knows that death is a thing of such impermanence, yes, I could certainly handle that.

[pissedkitty]

Still, to let someone close to you experience death, to see someone actively attempting to hurt them, to make them suffer, to put them through that experience... A reaction is only natural.

[roseraiebleue]

And an overreaction isn't.

[skybound_love]

I can see the logic, but it's different when you lose someone you love. Especially if they die painfully.

[roseraiebleue]

And that's a pathetic flaw.

[skybound_love]

There's no need to be bitter, Charley.

[roseraiebleue]

That isn't even an appropriate nickname. My name is French.

[dynast_daughter]

Knowing that a person has suffered needlessly... is bound to affect the people close to them. Even the strong are not heartless.

fff wrong word

[roseraiebleue]

A very brief suffering, and then it's over, and then they're back. It's hardly worthy of the scale of the wave of reactions that it evokes every time.

[dynast_daughter]

Brief, perhaps, though it is suffering nonetheless. And it remains etched in the memory of the victim...

[prodigal_axe]

Those reactions.. I bet that's why the killers keep at it.

[roseraiebleue]

If everyone accepted that it didn't mean or accomplish anything, what sense would there be in continuing it?

Not that I care to put an end to it anyway.

[prodigal_axe]

There wouldn't. Somehow I doubt it's gonna happen that way, though.
