Yeah... that'd be ideal. A win for her, a win for us.

[...]

And, like... for everyone who might eventually end up down here, really.

[greatvalue]

Yeah... I want the people who come after us to get the same opportunities we did. Or even better ones. Without all the murder and backstabbing.

[ontrend]

Yeah... same. Like... okay, there are definitely some people who are gonna go to hell who shouldn't get that chance - here's looking at you, serial murderers! - but for the most part... it feels like more people end up down here than who should.

[he nods, looking at him.]

... Even in this group, there's a lot of you that I can't figure out how you earned your place in hell.

[ontrend]

Yeah... like, it feels almost less like we didn't do anything to earn a place in hell? We just... didn't do enough to earn a place in heaven, or whatever, so we ended up here by default.

Which is pretty uncool.

That might be true for a lot of you. But... not for everybody. There's a pretty good reason why some of us wound up here.

[ontrend]

If you're including yourself in that "us," don't.

[he frowns.]

You're way too hard on yourself sometimes.

[greatvalue]

I'm not being too hard on myself.

[he frowns back! and it looks like he's debating something, before he just... sighs.]

I was the Emperor's right hand man. I did everything he asked me to even when I knew it felt wrong. And because I did, he almost got away with killing everyone in our realm. That's why I'm here.

[ontrend]

Dude, no. You're sixteen. The Emperor sounds like a fucking tyrant and if I know anything from the, like, tropes I've heard my otaku friends talking about, when someone in power makes a teenager their right-hand man, there's usually a lot of brainwashing and/or manipulation involved. That shit's on him, not on you.

[he crosses his arms.]

I've gotten to know you since we've been stuck here together. The person you are, yourself? You do not deserve to be in hell.
