[Werter stands in the door, wobblingly.]

Flynn. What the hell are you talking about? Just... what the hell...?

[primalfanatic]

Baphomet! I was wrong! I was wrong about everything!

[saikyocivrobo]

Yeah, he exists for real. Does that mean the Disciples were right in trying to destroy everything? What would you accomplish if you followed Conor? You'd just lose your life...

[primalfanatic]

Which was obviously the right thing to do. Baphomet can accomplish way more than I can.

[ Even though she's tired as hell, Hoshi can't help but to try to talk someone down from a bad thing like this. She moves over to the punching bag and holds it in place. ]

You can start by not being reckless.

[primalfanatic]

Reckless? You call this reckless? I should be dead!

[aheartstrength]

Do you think your parents would want to see you like this? Tell me honestly.

[ It might be that she's irritated from a lack of proper rest, but there's a different sort of look in her eyes - still sincere in her words, but worn down a little. ]

[primalfanatic]

That doesn't matter in the slightest!

It's tempting, isn't it? When you feel like you've been left behind, you want to do anything you can to catch up.

[That comment takes away a lot of Flynn's steam.]

I am a coward. I should do it right now... what's tempting me is the life I have here.

[...did he just say that?]

[getter_class]

What's "tempting" you is your instincts. They're telling you that a meaningless death won't accomplish anything.

Instinct is a powerful tool. You'd be smart to not ignore it.

[primalfanatic]

I know all about instincts. My instincts aren't telling me anything.

Death... it wouldn't be meaningless. It might be pointless, but it wouldn't be meaningless.

It hardly matters though. I will die when Baphomet demands it, whether I choose to obey and take my own life or not.
