I wanted to see the petting zoo.

[Soft and fluffy animals, please.]

[midway]

That's a good destination. Let's see if I can get us there.

[ oocly i do not know how the travel works but i'm sure claude will get them there ]

[fightolive]

[They just have to keep walking in the correct direction in this gate.

Firefly keeps getting turned around without a guide, but at least Claude is easily followed.]

Lion cubs...? They're so cute.

[midway]

... Never seen those out and about.

[ OKAY but they are so cute!! ]

Anyway, how're you feeling? Glad that Yves took you out?

[fightolive]

[These bear cubs with the cutest, roundest ears!]

It... Would be a stretch to say I'm happy about it.

[Gently petting a baby.]

[midway]

[ Looking at her. ]

Relieved?

[fightolive]

[Frowning as she considers her emotions. Blegh, she prefers "keep active" to "talk about your feelings".]

Frustrated, mostly, but there's relief there too, and I'm... also frustrated about that.

[midway]

Frustrated because you couldn't figure it out yourself?

[fightolive]

I'm not good at solving things on my own.

[And when she finally told somebody,]

Frustrated that the only solution available was death.

[midway]

You didn't expect him to kill you?

[ ... ]

[fightolive]

I was hoping there was some other way.

That's just misplaced hope.

[Fluffy little animals are at least soothing.]

[midway]

[ . . . ]

I am sorry. That it happened to you, and that we didn't try any other option in all the weeks before. You deserved to live as much as everyone else. Everyone who was possessed did.

[fightolive]

...

Thank you for your sympathy. It's not like I told anyone except Yves. Even if they didn't believe my story, they didn't think I was possessed.

[Man.]

Did you get what you wanted?

[midway]

Well, I'm dead. So I wouldn't say so.

[fightolive]

[Hands him a bunny to pet.]

Sorry.

[midway]

Thanks.

[ Pets this bunny... The only thing keeping his mental health together. ]

I was also a little surprised that they jumped straight to killing me, for the record.

[fightolive]

[Save us, emotional support animals. Save us.]

They really didn't ask you anymore questions?

[midway]

No, Uruha did ask why I did it. But he essentially said that he didn't plan to let me live, regardless of my answer.

[fightolive]

...

I don't know much about justice, but... I don't know if that's "right".

[midway]

I don't know either. But, I don't really have the right to talk about justice after what I did to Zhongli.

But emotions don't have to abide by justice, so I can be angry and frustrated all I want, I think.

[fightolive]

That's fair.

[Petting the kitty that's walked itself over.]

It's probably better to let yourself feel than trying to ignore it forever.

[midway]

The same goes for you, you know.

[fightolive]

...

It's not like I want Yves to join us over here. What he did was necessary.

...

But I hate that it was.

[midway]

That's the right reaction, isn't it?

You shouldn't want harm to come to you.

[fightolive]

The survival instinct is strong that way.

This is way more death than I was expecting in death.
