VIDEO. UN: LOKI.
Hello there.
[ Loki's standing on the porch of the ashen saloon, black bones against a dusky horizon. ]
Another day saved, another mission over ... [ he says it in an "all in a day's work" sort of tone. a finger twists and he gestures outward. ]
As the story continues! [ the drawl comes from his lips slowly, as if for dramatic effect. ]
We've met our arch-foes, saved a part of the fractured multiverse from apparent destruction and preserved the integrity of the timeline—erm, hopefully on the last two, anyway. In light of current events, and while we all cool down, I thought we'd play with a little fun hypothetical to stimulate conversation. Call it something that's been on my mind. So, riddle me this, Audentes ...
If saving a world meant destroying it—you know, kind of like a hard reset—what would you do? Would you do it, let it die and get coffee instead, or would you fight with tooth and axe for its survival, despite all odds? All methods in between, of course, feel free to be creative.
[ sometimes, some things remind him all too much of Ragnarok. ]

Considering she seems to be everything that I'm not, I would think so. Despite sharing the same body, we ended up living very different lives.

[ from someone who's lived many lives, some evil, some good, some a weird mesh of the two, he's curious about the association. ]
Something less.

[She's not sure where Loki is trying to go with this, but she will throw her two cents in.]
You save yourself from a lot more pain by not getting your hopes up. Should things go wrong, it doesn't come as much of a shock.
[That's one of the mechanisms she's developed to protect herself, even if it meant putting walls around herself and pushing others away.]

So, you'll have to excuse me as that seems ... a remarkably simple way to roll up any expectation not met. Pain tends to happen regardless, not to mention suffering for that matter.

[ don't let him take the stage he'll go on with the wordplay all night. ]
Ah, well—we digress, don't we?

[She says it in a as-a-matter-of-fact tone.]
Nevertheless, I hold onto what I said before. Everything has its beginning and end, so if it is that world's time to go, that's that.
[Just as her being the first Diclonius in her world was a sign that the humans' reign was over. She was going to follow the Voice of her DNA and wipe out the human population. ...Right? But then--Wouldn't that mean she would have to kill Kouta too?]

Ah—you sound so sure about that, you'd convince someone on conviction alone.
