People have their beliefs and convictions that they're willing to do die for just like me, but what I'm willing to die for is worthless and pointless. The world will eventually show them the same. Society and law will only do so much to let them hold onto their hopes. Eventually, others will fuck them over but not out of cruelty or viciousness or even the desire to see them suffer... they will because of their own convictions and loves.
[ There is no kindness and no mercy in the world. There are people that believe that it is possible and hold onto it all tight within their chest. It may save them when death comes, if the world hasn't shown them that everything they fought and loved for did not make the world better. ]
The things people love... the things people are willing to save... the things they are wanting to change... will amount to nothing. The world will shift back to how it always been with new societies and people will do the exact same shit that we're doing right now. [ He tilts his head a little bit. ]
That is what I believe. [ Nero has only explained his beliefs to one another person. That person accepted them as nonsense, and the elf still appreciates his dismissal. He smiles -- it's fond and warm; he likes that he was told he was full of shit, even though he believes he isn't. ]
You're trying to prepare yourself if I ever am going to kill you? I appreciate the honesty in it. [ He chuckles to himself. ] They aren't half-veiled threats. I think I've been pretty fucking clear. If you think they're only veiled because I didn't carry them out, well, that's unfortunate.
[ But he leans back in his stool, stare off at nothing. ] And I wouldn't say that alibi is to excuse yourself from others, but excuse yourself from yourself. Most people can only live with so much of who they are before they aren't able to live with it anymore.
[ Nero, however, likes himself and can live with himself. ]
