All's well that ends well

[thecastle]

[ So you've wished the dead back to life, but there's still 2 wishes you have to make. Ultimately what happens from here is entirely in your hands, but for the first time in eight weeks everyone is alive and whole again (even that pesky merman). There is that corruption you should deal with, but surely you know what to do about that.

Once you've settled and wound down a bit, maybe you should relax a bit before going your separate ways. You've earned it.

... How the fuck did you not get tired keeping that up? [THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS ZERO, REALLY?]

[pseudoregelia]

Actually, I've been playing this role for the past two years.

It's my job.

[So??? Just more of the same, really, aside from all the extra murder.]

[blacksong]

Sounds like a shitty job then. [IT SOUNDS AWFUL TO HER but she's also the type to be way too blunt and straightforward for something like that anyways.]

[pseudoregelia]

It has its perks. If it didn't, I would have found a different job a long time ago.

[Traveling the world, going on all sorts of interesting, thrilling adventures...]

[blacksong]

[shrugging] If you like it, you like it, I guess.

[pseudoregelia]

It gives me something interesting to do.

But... it sounds like your "job" won't be nearly as fun.

[blacksong]

Probably not. It's about time it got done though. [The full scope of her powers being back makes her more aware of that than ever.]

...

Unlike "Hiyono," I understand that killing can't always be avoided. But... I still can't wish you luck in your endeavor.

[Not entirely. Not after meeting the Blade Children.]

I think instead, I will wish you the best ending you can possibly achieve for yourself.

[blacksong]

It's not like I was expecting any well wishes, but thanks, I guess.

[It's more than she would've expected from anyone about what she's trying to do.]

You can rest easy though. Unlike the assholes in charge here, I'm ready to accept the consequences for my actions once it's all said and done.

[pseudoregelia]

Then you're already much better off than they are.

[At least Zero knows what she's about.]
