Yeah. He was. [ ... ] He was still alive, when I... but he was planning to stay behind so we could all go. He was sick, but he still waged war for me.

[ to. try to explain the past tense a bit. he doesn't know, if whitebeard dies for sure, but. ]

Yeah, of course he did. [that's not sarcastic or anything, it's just like - yeah, of course he'd do that for you. that's what you do for people you care about. you wage war for them, in both small and mighty ways.]

[a little sniff. she's a cat, so it sounds kind of weird, but.] It's not like I haven't seen people die before. I have, a lot.

So have I. It doesn't make it easy. [ this is such a bummer. damn it. ]

From:

sharkgirl

[it's different, she thinks, when it's someone she cares about.

she's quiet again, and then:]

Nico - Nico told me if I wanted to, I could go to his world. After all of this is over. If we don't fuck up. [...] But I thought about...

[she stops. she just stops there.]
