No. You only seemed resigned to a foregone conclusion.
[so it felt worth pointing out that a choice is still in her hands. also it's midweek and i want a new ara pc so we're going to say that they're finally coming to touch down on the ground now, scien's tinkering with the I.R.I.S. fixing the gravity.... for now
but he'll give a wave of his hand.]
You aren't. [he won't press, he was just curious]

You are not wrong.
[ she is resigned to this conclusion, this choice she's made. she keeps her skirt down as they finally lower back to the ground. i will set up a new pc for us....... tomorrow.
she seems a little surprised that he isn't pressing but doesn't say anything else. ]

[scien is
horizontal again i'm sorry this man is really splayed out on the ground looking at the ceiling. his emotions are still in that tight little box bundle, but the strongest one that leaks through is this sense of being lost.]
We were still awake after everyone else collapsed. I thought—
[a pause. a sudden surge of violence, followed by scien's brow furrowing as he tries to parse the emotion]
... I thought I wanted to see his heart. So I did.

[ he can be horizontal all he wants. there is no sense of judgment from shouxue, more of a sense of duty.
the violence gets a ripple of concern, and she bites her lips. ]
That is out of the ordinary for you, isn't it? That feeling. That kind of thought.

[ she looks away and tries to keep her emotions quiet in response. there is a feeling of struggle. ]
Yet you ended doing something counter to that. Something is not right. That is what I can conclude, but I don't know what isn't right. Or how it isn't right.
Is that your goal still, even now?

It is on more than one.
[ she assumes most people lie. she just didn't know if eunhyuk made an egregious lie to scien in particular.
anyway, that's fine. those are words that she accepts from scien. ]
You may be right, but with the amount of care Dahut gave you, I don't know if that would help him—even if you are the reason he is dead.

[ . . .
for a long moment, he is quiet.]
He'll understand why I've chosen it. I tend not to bend for him, and this will be no different.
Sometimes, he would be too eager to sacrifice himself for the sake of other people. I think that's foolish. However... I also think that the least I can do is borrow a page out of his book.

You are both fools.
[ it is said imperiously but without any harshness behind it. ]
And you both are the sort who'd cause trouble even in death, so I would prefer if you both found peace in the afterlife instead of haunted people with the regrets you want to choke on.
