I won't do it.

[dissimilarities]

Maybe it doesn't have to be an object. Maybe a . . . feeling or a memory?

[deadrising]

I would be willing to give either of those. The question is why -- what makes them valuable, I suppose.

[dissimilarities]

Probably by how important it is to us.

[deadrising]

I would give up a lot of important things for you.

[ He blinks. He knew that, but it's still surprising to hear it being said. He swallows ]

Y-Yeah, I know. You've always looked out for me.

[deadrising]

You're my friend. And as close to a brother as one can be.

I'm not excellent at feelings, but I will try for you.

[dissimilarities]

We'll both try.

[deadrising]

Yes.

...on my end, I'd be willing to give up all of the positive feelings I've learned here. It won't be hard to learn them again.

Or some of my memories, or both.

[dissimilarities]

All of them?

[deadrising]

There aren't that many to begin with...

[dissimilarities]

That's still a lot!

[deadrising]

[ raising an eyebrow ]

Are you arguing because they're important, or because you don't think you're worth that?

[dissimilarities]

What? Because they're important! Good feelings aren't exactly easy to come by!

[deadrising]

I can't use them at home. They are only important here.

... [ sigh ] Memories, then.

[dissimilarities]

Maybe a skill?

[deadrising]

Most of my skills are trivial. Except...

[ :T ]

My Val'kyr.

[dissimilarities]

What's that?

[deadrising]

[ since powers are still on...there is a glowing lady in the room... ]

Them. They are able to raise the dead.

[dissimilarities]

Is it safe to give it up?

[deadrising]

I don't know.

If I never get them back...the future of my world will change. I know that much. But that is specifically what makes them valuable.

[dissimilarities]

. . . It's your decision. I'll be okay with whatever you choose.

[deadrising]

What will you offer? I don't mind doing it alone, if you'd like.

[dissimilarities]

I can give up my feelings for Tear.

[deadrising]

...are you certain? She is important to you.

[dissimilarities]

Yeah, but so are you.
