Somethin' wrong with bein' a L'Cie, kid?

[hopeandapromise]

Yeah, because I didn't choose to become one! I'm an enemy of Cocoon now, when I never did anything wrong! And who wants to be stuck choosing between a Focus, or becoming a Cie'th?! Either way, it doesn't end well at all!

[fangsofpulse]

So ya didn't want to get stuck with in this position. But ya are now. And there's only one way left t'go. Ya can either go forward to an ending where ya live. Or ya become a Cie'th. It's not the best of choices, but it's what ya've got t'work with.

[hopeandapromise]

But I don't want either of them!

...Hope-san? You can't just give up. You've got to know that, right?

[Voice]

[hopeandapromise]

What's the point in trying to fight if I'm a l'Cie? Giving up is better than doing what I'm supposed to do as one!

[Voice|| Locked] Poor bb ;3;

[savior_n_black]

No, giving up is never "better". It's just easier.

Is that what you want? The easy way out?! Are you so much of a fucking coward?!

[Hear that? He's yelling. Hope is so terrified and upset, he doesn't know what to do.]

What am I supposed to do?! We lived in Palumpolum and visited Bodhum, and they found a Pulse fal'Cie and they wouldn't let us go home! We weren't residents of the place and never came across a l'Cie, but we got shoved onto the train for the Purge anyway! And after that, Snow came to our group asking for volunteers, and he used my mom, and now she's dead!

And to top it all off, I've now become a Pulse l'Cie too! The one thing Cocoon hates more than anything! We're enemies of Cocoon, now- and we can't stay anywhere without someone chasing after us! [He pauses, but it's easy to tell he's shaking and terrified.] And if I do keep going, I either get turned into crystal or become a monster. I don't want either of those!

[invertedwind]

Dying is hardly the better choice than living.

[hopeandapromise]

It's better than turning into a crystal, or becoming a monster. I know that much.

[invertedwind]

But if you die it's just over. At least this way you can still do something before, right?

[hopeandapromise]

Being a l'Cie means you're doomed to die. I can't do anything about that. And no one trusts a l'Cie, so there's no point in trying to hide. If I lived on, it'd only be pointless.
