...

A sullied soul fit to kill the gods, hm?

[It's a firm break against the quiet.]

You're pretty young for those sorts of claims.

[onhallowedground]

‘Youth’ has very little to do with it.

[His eyes slide towards Solomon, but he doesn’t move more than that.]

[A hum of acknowledgement, arms crossing.]

So he does speak.

What do you think happens to a soul that is no longer bright, Gabimaru? Do they truly stop being a human?

[onhallowedground]

Humanity can be tossed away, when the goal demands it. [he grits his teeth before continuing] What happens after will just have to be another burden carried.

[impacter]

It can be. But just because it can happen doesn't mean it should.

Do you think that little of yourself? Of whatever it is you want?

[onhallowedground]

[ooh that gets a sharp glare, and a rising voice]

It’s because I want it that I’m willing to go through with whatever I have to.

Killing to me is more familiar than my own name—- one more body of someone who doesn’t deserve it is a weight I can bear if I can go back to her.

[There's the spark. Another mention of "her". Good.]

And why do you think he didnt deserve it?

Poor placement in the dead of night? That's a pretty flimsy excuse.

[onhallowedground]

He was convenient. He stumbled across the wrong person digging in rose bushes in the dark, and ended up paying for it.

[No hard feelings, Lavi, but Gabimaru was ready to kill whoever and you just walked in at a bad time.]

...Would you have killed no matter who walked by you?
