Chapter 4: An inevitable fate descends; Ryuubi speaks to the people

[fightingvirtue]

[As the feed switches on, Ryuubi is sitting on a mostly-darkened room, the faint gray light from the stormy day outside barely penetrating. Lit from below by the PCD, his expression can best be described as raw, all exposed pain and tattered courage. Yet it's wistful as well. He is staring into some distance only he can see

You're right. I get to see and hold my daughter again.

I can go back with a little more peace.

[fightingvirtue]

Just hold her tight, Mr. Hughes. Just be happy while there's time...

[brig_gen_maes]

I will. Daddy's been holding her tight more than before.

Forgetting is not always a good thing.

[fightingvirtue]

When you can't change anything, you may as well forget.

Forgetting pain might sound nice, but ultimately it robs life of its very substance, Ryuubi-san.

[fightingvirtue]

Oh, no, captain, believe me... sometimes, enough is enough.

[bunny_flower]

I have lived long enough to know that it is not necessarily true, Ryuubi-san.

One might think so on occasion, but one comes to know it is not so in the end.

[fightingvirtue]

Except that there is no end, and there never can be.
