I believe that when someone is given a second chance, it's for a reason. So... there's no way that it's just going to be the end for you once all of this - [she waves a hand to indicate their current situation] - is over.
You saw my memories. What would you tell me if I said that it was perfectly fine for me to take risks, because I had already died once?
[Her emotions...react with a sort of understanding, and for a moment, it almost feels like she's ready to believe - except something seems to drag them back to where they once were, like they're stuck in a rut, unable to be free.]
I mean...you do what you can with your life. And its good you have a second chance. Its what you deserve.
[Her emotions falter at that touch, eyes hesitating before glancing back at her. Warmth, uncertainty, but that overall melancholy sitting in her bones, unable to let go.]
I'm not a good person, Su. At least...I'm trying to make it up for not being one. I don't know if I deserve that much.

[Caught in the act!]
[But her sorrow pangs at that, deep.]
...I didn't tell you, did I?
no subject
[hmm. she sounds nervous about what her answer might be. i swear to god if you're about to have her say she's dead, crystal...]
no subject
[A sigh. She's looking at that sprout, again, melancholy hanging over her, even through the exhaustion and pain coming from her.]
I'm already dead, Su.

["Right now".]
Yes, well. I am. So I'll use this borrowed time as much as I can.
no subject
You're going to hold onto your life even after we get out of here. It's not borrowed time - it's your time, and you're going to keep it. Promise me.

[Because she wants to believe in that. That she can go back, and she can continue to live life, but...]
[There's a dread of inevitability. That she'll return, and it'll be right back where she was. Dying. Dead. Gone.]

You deserve that, too. I truly believe that.
