is it still me that makes you sweat

Now there's some hallowed halls.

[devilsball]

You tell me.

[oopsdeadclan]

The grass is looking nice and green.

[devilsball]

Worth crossing the divide for?

[oopsdeadclan]

Depends on how willing you are to let go of all that guilt.

[devilsball]

What would it gain me besides eternal damnation?

[oopsdeadclan]

That depends on exactly what it is you want.

[devilsball]

To be the best. Number one. Would I gain that by casting away my shackles, Itachi? Or would it just make it easier for me to trip over my own feet.

[oopsdeadclan]

It is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you're strong enough to make that jump without your angels then a stumble's barely a blip on your radar.

[devilsball]

Strong enough....

[oopsdeadclan]

Strong enough to take what you want.

[devilsball]

By giving up what I have?

[oopsdeadclan]

By sacrificing your weakness.

[devilsball]

My weakness or my saving grace? Is there a difference, Itachi?

[oopsdeadclan]

Your saving grace only exists to stem your fear, Mello. You won't know for certain if damning even exists until you die. What if there's just nothing? Would clinging to your angels have been worth it?

On the other hand, I could just be a monster with no right to call myself human.

[devilsball]

I don't know. I don't know! Yes. Yes. It would have been worth it. Without.. without a doubt. I an strong enough to not cast it aside at the first sign of perceived weakness.

All monsters are human, Itachi. Only humans could possibly have the traits needed to be deemed monstrous.
