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

I would lose myself. I'd do anything to protect my friends.

TEXT

[always_forgot]

Even if it means you would be drastically different than before, and not in a good way?

Re: TEXT

[takatori_heir]

Sometimes... you're not left with any options. To protect the people you care about, you have to become someone you hate.

TEXT

[always_forgot]

... Yeah. That's true enough.

[justwantsafety]

....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.

stay true to who you are. There are other ways of dealing with danger.

TEXT

[always_forgot]

But what if there was no other way? Or if the other options would cause even more harm?

TEXT

[stillneedsakiss]

Can I call?

TEXT

[always_forgot]

... Sure.

It's most important to protect your friends, isn't it?

[Text]

[always_forgot]

Yeah. I'm just wondering if I'll even be the same person they made friends with when it's all said and done.

[Text]

[love_lostomates]

If you're worried about it, then that's a start, right? I don't know what's wrong, but I think that nothing can change us forever. Especially if we have our friends to help us through it.

[Text]

[always_forgot]

I hope you're right.

TEXT

[carnivalcat]

Depends on the people we're talking about.

TEXT

[always_forgot]

Everyone.

TEXT

[carnivalcat]

... I'd have to think about it.

TEXT

[always_forgot]

I didn't have time to think about it.
